Yup, lots of CRON-style functionality already exists, so no reason to invent your own scheduler. Independent of that decision, you may gain some reliability by running scheduled tasks in a separate process from the webapp. If people depend on receiving those emails in a certain timeframe, you don't want a webapp failure to get in the way.
