Mailhandler
The Mailhandler module allows registered users to create or edit nodes and comments via email. Authentication is usually based on the From: email address. Users may post taxonomy terms, teasers, and other node parameters using the Commands capability. See useful command documentation.
Upgrading to latest version
In the 6.1.9 release there are database schema changes. You must run update.php to upgrade from any previous version of 6.x mailhandler to the latest version of mailhandler.

Help is needed: Most of the recent changes have only been committed to the Drupal-6 branch. I preferred progressing with this branch, rather than to wait for D5 compatibility. If you're working on Drupal 5, and would like to see these changes introduced, please supply a backport patch, and I'll happily apply it.
Roadmap
While mailhandler isn't expected to add more features (these should be added as extension modules), I do have a couple of features, which seem necessary:
- Add support for (CCK) fields: #141211: CCK custom content type fields and scheduling using mailhandler
- DONE Improve security and identification: #11962: Virtual Email Passphrase Authentication
- DONE Add a way to export/import a mailbox, to be used in code (such as in a feature) Supported in Mailhandler 2.x
Mailhandler 2.x
Mailhandler 2.x is now available for testing in CVS in the 6.2 branch. Be aware: there is currently no upgrade path to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x. In order to help in testing 2.x it is necessary to create new mailboxes from scratch. See the README.txt for installation and setup instructions.
Mailhandler 2.x requires CTools >= 1.7
