RSS plan - need help

[yoshi]

Hi Guys,

Given the sterling response I always get on here, here's the next one. So I have a plan to implement an an RSS feed where the content is derived from emails to a particular email account (POP3). I need to do it without spending any money if possible (freeware :))

What I need at this stage is:
1. Is this possible
2. Any ideas on software to do it if possible
3. Any links to good tutorials/readmes on RSS

Thanks in advance

Yoshi

Hi sof2008,

Thanks for the reply but this is kind of in reverse of what I planned to do. This service sends you an email whenever there is an update to an RSS feed you are subscribed to. What I want to do if possible is have emails added to a feed from a specific mailbox.

Right easiest way to do it is to install a blogging piece of software that accepts entries by a validated email. Since most blogging software come with at least some form of automatic feed built into them

Just have a look around sourceforge or freshmeat for one thats free.

It wouldn't be that hard to create a php script that scrapes an email address make a feed out of it though.

Im sure simplephpblog has this feature but i haven't played with it in a while but it could be a good starting point for a little bit of code reuse
