I also have my crontab file with environment variables to that effect and, other than the bug described, the site AND crontab do work OK with Buenos Aires' times

Hmm, I didn't know you could set environmental variables in a cronjob (except for, MAILTO, which I'm not sure is really a env var) - I'm still not quite sure, but it's not going to set for the cronjob for Beatitude, since the cronjob will just start an HTTP process, which will have its own environment

Anyways, I can recreate your problem - it probably has to do with this method in dada/DADA/MailingList/Schedules pm It turns the data you set in the form into something that time() would return:

sub mailing_date {

my $self = shift; 
my $q    = shift; 

my $min        = $q->param('mail_minute') || 0;
my $hour       = $q->param('mail_hour')   || 0;
my $mday       = $q->param('mail_day')    || 1;
my $mon        = $q->param('mail_month')  || 0;
my $year       = $q->param('mail_year')   || 0;
my $mail_am_pm = $q->param('mail_am_pm')  || 'am';

# This is a little hacky



if ( $mail_am_pm eq 'pm' ) {

    # But - if the hour is, "12"
    # 12 + 12 is, "24" - not, "0' and not just, "12"
    if ( $hour != 12 ) {
        $hour += 12;
    }
}
elsif ( $mail_am_pm eq 'am' ) {
    if ( $hour == 12 ) {
        $hour = 0;
    }
}

$min = int($min);
require Time::Local;
my $time = Time::Local::timelocal( 0, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year );
return $time;

}

I bet the bug is in the, "am" and "pm" check Working with a 24 hour clock would be a ton simpler,
