Mailhandler: content via mail

The mailhandler module allows registered users to create or edit nodes and comments via e-mail. Users may post taxonomy terms, teasers, and other post attributes using the mail commands capability. This module is useful because e-mail is the preferred method of communication by community members.

The mailhandler module requires the use of a custom mailbox. Administrators can add mailboxes that should be customized to meet the needs of a mailing list. This mailbox will then be checked on every cron job. Administrators may also initiate a manual retrieval of messages.

This is particularly useful when you want multiple sets of default commands. For example , if you want to authenticate based on a non-standard mail header like Sender: which is useful for accepting submissions from a listserv. Authentication is usually based on the From: e-mail address. Administrators can edit the individual mailboxes when they administer mailhandler.

You can

• run the cron job at cron.php.
• add a mailbox at administer >> mailhandler >> add a mailbox.
• administer mailhandler at administer >> mailhandler.
• set default commands, (password, type, taxonomy, promote, status), for how to work with incoming mail at admin >> mailhandler select edit for the email address being handled. Set commands in the default command field.
• post email, such as from a mailing list, to a forum by adding the term id (number found in the URL) to the default commands using tid: #.
• file issues, read about known bugs, and download the latest version on the Mailhandler project page.
