[TYPO3] howto setup cron task for direct mail extension

[Bram de Leeuw]

Thanks Jean-Baptiste,
 
I've got it working now!
 
The problem was that I had no clue about what so called cron tasks are. After reading on fora and consulting my hosting provider the mail system is working perfectly.
I the last mail from this list I read something about the latest version of direct mail being awesome. I will definatly check it out soon!
