Mailhandler

Ian Ward - September 28, 2003 - 16:44

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.

A tutorial for configuring this module for processing images attached to emails.

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
- Improve security and identification: #11962: Virtual Email Passphrase Authentication
- Add a way to export/import a mailbox, to be used in code (such as in a feature)
