Cron jobs alternative, Yahoo Web Hosting

I have a website w/ Yahoo Web Hosting and unfortunately they do not
allow use of cron jobs. My site sends out automated personalized e-
mails on a regularly scheduled basis, currently via the method of
placing the e-mail PHP code on a page on the site and accessing it at
some point each day.

I would like to set it up as fully automated on the server, but how
can I do this without cron jobs? Are there alternatives? Seems like
SourceForge has a few million e-mail reminder "programs" but the ones
I found generally require cron jobs.
