Hi,

Sympa generates a task file for each list with a reminder under
"spool/sympa/tasks/"

The time for each reminder is the creation time of the current task +
the interval time specified.

The default taks are stored under:
default/list_task_models/remind.*

# cat remind.monthly.task
title.gettext remind message sent to subscribers every month

/INIT
next([execution_date]+1m,EXEC)

/EXEC
@selection = select_subs (older([execution_date]))
send_msg (@selection, remind)
next([execution_date]+1m,EXEC)
