No, we don't yet support blog-by-email.
How would you envision this feature working?.
I guess you'd have to tell Roller (or the mail-to-blog gateway) this
info:
* address, username, password of mailbox to monitor for messages
* how often to check mailbox for new messages
How would be route an incoming email to one specific user, one
specific blog?
* use from-address of email to determine which user account to use
* look for Blog:<blog-handle> in first line of mail message to
determine which blog to post to
* look for Password:<mail-blog-password> in second line to determine
a password
You'd probably want the <mail-blog-password> to be different from
your normal password.
That could all be done by an external program that runs every hour or
so, contacts a mail server and then posts to Roller via MetaWeblog
API. See the Chapter 12 example from my book (examples hosted at
http://blogapps.dev.java.net) for some sample code that works
assuming a one user setup via POP3.

Greetings all:
I looked at the doc and my own installed instance of roller but I
don't see a way to post to my blog via email. Does this feature not
exist in roller?
Thanks
Steve
