COREBlog 0.5b or higher has moblog feature. Moblog stands for something like "Mobile blog" - you can add new entry via email. Using camera phone, you can add new entry with picture from anywhere!

• A email address - can be read via POP3 protocol - requied. You cannot use Web-based email address.
• Edit some property for receiving email - host,user name,password in setting tab.
• Password for adding entry means password for adding new entry. This password must appear in the first line of email. If not, the email will be ignored.
• The second line must be a category(s) - category name or ID number. When second line is blank, category of new entry will be a Default category for moblog. in setting tab.
• Sender address for moblog is to restrict moblog mail's sender.
• If you use free email - Yahoo! , etc. - , please use Body separater setting. Lines of email after separater will be ignored, so you can exclude AD.
• Attached image will appear in added entry.
• COREBlog doesn't delete email. Please use mail-client to delete email.

You need to access a URL to receive email periodically. It appears in bottom of setting form. If your COREBlog runs on UNIX/Linux system, use cron + wget. The URL needs authentication.

How COREBlog's moblog feature works.

COREBlog becomes POP client. When a URL to receive email is accessed, COREBlog receive email from mail server according to moblog setting. COREBlog reads newly arriving email, find out correct password appears in the first line of email. If it appears, COREBlog add a new entry.

Before reporting bugs to me...

Make sure your setting for receiving email is correct. Errors occured on POP access will appear in error_log( Zope 2.6.x or higher.). If moblog feature seems not to work, check out error_log. It bring you some information for result of POP authentication and so on. After setting, please access a URL for receive email using Web brouser. So you can confirm if some error occures. Have fun :-).
