Automating checking e-mail

If your site runs on a UNIX/linux server, and you have shell access, you can enable mail checking using cron; if you don't know anything about cron, skip to the cronless postie section.

Setup a cronjob to pull down the get_mail.php Examples:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx --source http://blog.robfelty.com/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php >/dev/null 2>&1

This fetches the mail every five minutes with lynx

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://blog.robfelty.com/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php >/dev/null 2>&1

This fetches the mail every ten minutes with wget

Cronless Postie

If you don't have access to cron, you can run postie without it.

1.1.1

Below is all the of the version information. As far as I can tell there once was a guy named John Blade. He took some of the orignal wp-mail.php code and started hacking away on it. He actually got pretty far. About the time I discovered WordPress and his little hack - called WP-Mail at the time - he went on a vacation or something. There were some problems with the script, and it was missing some features I wanted. I hacked away at it and got it into a place where it did what I wanted. I started posting about it since I figured other people might want the features.

John didn't release any more versions at least up til July 2005. So I started accepting submissions and feature requests from people to help make the code better. In June/July 2005 I discovered a little plugin by Chris J Davis (http://www.chrisjdavis.org/cjd-notepad/) called notepad. I added a small feature to it (basically a bookmarklet). In the process I started looking at his code and realized how much you could do with the plugin system available in Word Press.

So I decided to make an offical fork. I put up an article on my blog asking for new names. I picked Postie. I then modified the code to be a proper plugin. And the rest is history :) * BUGFIX -problem with subject * BUGFIX -cronless postie typo
