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
  • rickumali@lemmy.sdf.org

    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!
