What is the best way to automatically send emails from a ruby on rails website on a schedule such as weekly or daily based on stored user info?

Write a method somewhere that sends the currently pending emails. Then set up a daily cron job that uses script/runner to execute that method.

You'd be better off with a cron job (or scheduled task on Windows), or (my preference) a scheduled job within the database that is (hopefully) storing your information.
