Thanks for asking.

Yup! Built, and tested 100%, it basically uses Perl DBI/DBD, SMTP and Date modules. Used MySQL query date and time functions.

The EMAIL and BIRTHDAY template files say more than one reminder for a single event, that is not correct, currently ONE and ONLY ONE REMINDER is setup per event. The time of event will depend on when you run your cron job. You should run cron jobs as frequently as every hour to catch all time zones, i.e. then birthday and reminder emails will be generated as early as just after midnight local time zone(s). Say it is your birthday and also a private event on the same day, you will get exactly 2 reminders for it. If you have a birthday and 3 private events, then you will get 4 emails, and so on ...

Please email me with any issues. Have fun sending birthday greetings and those important private event reminders in ALL time zones :supwink: !!
