I recently stumbled on the Email Registration module which will create an account from an email address. Why not have a mailhandler admin option to create accounts that don't yet exist using this module (if it's installed)? Maybe even drop into a defined role? This way, you won't have to open your site to anon submissions to get all of the mail.

Or maybe even better, a default user account to assign posts for which the From address doesn't match any know user account. This would be a really simple tweak that would allow a "bucket" to catch emails, but doesn't require you to open everything up to anon.

For this you install the listhandler module.

TIP: If you do not want email to get send part of listhandler just set the outgoing mail to a email out that get always discarded.

so.. don't forget to review this issue: #594914: anonymous users submissions: discussion

Interesing feature that one, having a default bucket account is something not considered in that discussion.. Thank you both!
