I made a simple tool some time ago to extract the content of an email, and publish it to a gopher hole.

To put it simply, the subject is used as the title, and the body is put into the log entry (optionnaly passed through a command, like fmt(1) for example. The original email sender is verified, to prevent spams from cluttering your phlog. It might not be the most secure method, but that works for me ^tm^.

You can see it in action here:

  • gopher://phlog.z3bra.org
  • gopher://g.nixers.net/7/~anon/twtxt.dcgi

It was cool to use, but it is no longer in service. I still have the old emails I sent! For them, they had an email address (post@posterous.com) that you would send the BLOG post. I'm guessing they checked the FROM to know whicih BLOG to update!
