+A few recurring jobs must be configured to make Modoboa works as
+expected.
+
+Create a new file, for example :file:`/etc/cron.d/modoboa` and put the
+following content inside::
+
+  #
+  # Modoboa specific cron jobs
+  #
+  PYTHON=<PATH TO PYTHON BINARY>
+  INSTANCE=<PATH TO MODOBOA INSTANCE>
+
+  # Operations on mailboxes
