Moblogging with Drupal

Hi
I'm considering to use Drupal as a community platform where people can moblog (i.e., post to their blogs via email or even from their camera phones).
There is this thread recommending the use of the MailHandler and MailAlias modules.
However, I wonder if a more specific moblogging setup is available, where one can configure some functions such as:
- Automatic resizing of received pictures
- Automatic creation of thumbnails and linking to the full-size picture
- Post moderation (i.e. posts received from non-registered users go to a queue for approval)
If such a thing is not available yet and somebody wants to try it, please let me know. I'm willing to test it.
Thank you in advance

there are many modules in
there are many modules in the repository that allow the feature set you seek.
my best advice, is to set up a test environment on your local machine or webserver, and test both drupal and the modules to confirm or deny that a certain feature set will work for you.
Thanks for your reply,

However, can you be more specific about those modules? What I'm looking for is a way to automate handling of the posts submitted, and I can't see how to make it work using a combination of different modules. Of course, it might be that I'm not a developer at all, just a devoted Drupal user.
no i cannot be more specific
no i cannot be more specific about the specific modules you've asked about as I've never used them myself.
however, i can be more specific about these modules:
images - handled by image.module (yes you can force resize and thumbnails)
as far as moderation goes, there are a few differnet modules that handle this type of admin task
http://drupal.org/project/modr8 is one that may suit your requirements.
I caveat this with the fact that I have never tried using a cell phone to work with drupal.
