Posting messages via email used to be possible
http://status.net/wiki/Email
Is it still possible?
Hello! I have not tried this with the current codebase, but I cannot
think of anything that would disable this functionality (we've updated
some MIME handling, but tried to followup any plugin changes too).
Posting by e-mail requires configuration and enabling of the 'Imap'
plugin. Its readme is pretty short, so I'll paste it below.
Please let us know if there is something which could be refined, not
functioning etc :)
plugins/Imap/README
The IMAP plugin allows for StatusNet to check a POP or IMAP mailbox for
incoming mail containing user posts.
Installation
============
addPlugin('imap', array(
'mailbox' => '...',
'user' => '...',
'password' => '...'
));
to the bottom of your config.php
Also, make sure:
$config['mail']['domain'] = 'yourdomain.example.net';
is set in your config.php
Create a catch-all account for your domain, and use this account with
this
plugin. Whenever a user sends a message to their personal notice posting
address, the message should end up in this mailbox, and then the plugin
daemon
will pick it up and post the notice on the user's behalf.
The daemon included with this plugin must be running. It will be started
by
the plugin along with their other daemons when you run
scripts/startdaemons.sh.
See the StatusNet README for more about queuing and daemons.
Settings
========
mailbox*: the mailbox specifier.
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php for details
user*: username to use when authenticating to the mailbox
password*: password to use when authenticating to the mailbox
poll_frequency: how often (in seconds) to check for new messages
