Joomla! Discussion Forums

Even with the ease-of-use of Joomla, some folks just won't (or can't) use it for some reason.
Laziness probably the most common factor here.

I am looking for a bot that will:

-- poll a POP3 mailbox (i.e. submit@yourdomain.com)
-- read incoming mail
-- validate that the user is from an "allowed" source like must be from @yourdomain.com or email must be registered.
-- stick the first XXX characters of the Subject in the Article Title field of the article
-- stick the entire Subject field in the Intro Text field of the article
-- stick the email body in the Main Text field of the article

-- Content Section and Category would need to be managed
-- Make sure the article is unpublished

I've searched extensions. and the forum. Any ideas?

A little dated and perhaps doesn't met all of your needs, but you could always add to it:

Hi,
I'm looking for the exact same thing as the original poster.

Unfortuantely the link for the extension is dead. Could anyone tell me what the extension is called so I can search, provide a link for me or assist me in any other way.

Cheers,
Nathan
