Yes, you could roll your own application to do distribute jobs drawing
recipient data from a database, or you could use LISTSERV Maestro for that.

In LISTSERV Maestro, I would just set this up as an auto-repeat job that runs
each day sending the same message but pulling in new recipient data, either
from a database if your user is using one (i.e. send each day's message to
everyone who has a donation date of yesterday, or something along those lines),
or from a text file that your user can update each day with the data they want
merged in.
