There's no such functionality inside Listserv that I know of.

However, most Linux boxes have a nice program called 'cron' that can do
what you want.  It can either run on your Listserv host, or on another box.

Sample entry to post at 1:30AM on the first of every month:

30 1 1 * * /usr/bin/mailx -s "Monthly Posting" [log in to unmask] < /path/to/body/of/mail

Note that this may or may not run afoul of Listserv's CRC duplicate detection
if there's not enough monthly traffic.  At that point, you'll have to get slightly
more creative.  This should suffice:

30 1 1 * * (date; cat /path/to/mail) | /usb/bin/mailx -s "Monthly Posting" [log in to unmask]
