Like I said I dont care who does it. I actually think it should be part of the current forums.
I can work on a script to post via email through piping of email however there are a couple of concerns. 1)If you only allow posting via certain email address that is ok but you can spoof the from of email addresses. This is done all the time. Hence why you most likely get spam on here. Alternate would be 2)Post using an from a certain email address and using a specified username and password, but think... would you want your forum username and password floating around. Many email servers use TLS protocol but it is not a requirement. (although it should be) FYI This site would not be a subdomain of any commercial site either. Would you like me to work on such a script given the above? About the hosting I didn't want to step on any ones toes. Jim if you own and maintain your own servers, by all means.
