Which PHP.
You can check when the last mail was send and than send a new one. And
you can put it in our website. And when anyone view this side that
script will run and do what you want.

Example (which not works)
index.php
<?php

	// Read last timestamp
	$file_name = "last_mail";
	$file = fopen($file_name, "r+");
	$content = fread($file, filesize($filename));

	$time = time();
	if($file[0] >= $time + $diff) {
		include "mailscript.php";

		// Write time back to file
		fseek($file, 0);
		fwrite($file, $time);
	}

	fclose($file);

?>
