    That's checking an external email account, rather an inelegant solution ;)

    At the moment I've hacked together some scripts to form an exim mail transport which allows direct email->wordpress submission. Image transposition etc might prove a little more difficult. I'll have a good look at those plugins.

    @octarine: sure that is better but most don't have the possibility to install that. Better extend the current one to send a mail to a specific address and ask for reply.
    So I have to send two mails to make a post.

    Tom. Permission isn't a problem is my particular case, since it's a closed system I'm receiving the submissions from, and the From: addresses can't be faked. In a more general sense I can configure perl to check the PGP signature of incoming submissions, which is pretty fool proof. I want to setup a system where usse of the website is optional for running the blog, so having to configure a pop3/imap account for each user is not ideal.

    Question, folks.

    I had my e-mail postings working fine last night. Decided I wanted to have Wordpress at the root level, so I deleted all of the WP files, adn re-installed. I'm now able to update the blog the manual way, but the e-mail postings no longer work. I'm able to check the e-mail account through Outlook Express, so i know I've got that part right.... I just feel like I'm missing something stupid. Any thoughts?

    I am in the same boat with that particular issue. I have NEVER been able to get that to work though. Even with WP-SU... It is driving me nuts... I would be very interested to hear any potential fixes that people may have come up with.

    I looked at the codex link that jaseone posted, in my normal WP installations I can find this and it works BUT in WPMU it seems they have removed it..?

    Hello!
    Have anybody a running E-Mail-Blogging Script for wordpress mu. Where each user can blog via e-mail in their own blogs.

    The plugins for normal Wordpress don´t work with mu.

    Have anybody an idea?

    Thank you!

    I have used this Blog-by-Mail on Wordpressmu 1.0, and it was working perfectly. http://www.danray.net/blogbymailmu/
