Thanks a lot for sharing this - I am especially thankful to you as I was struggling to configure Postie to suit my requirements, but I was not successful.

I've been trying to post to wordpress via email using wordpress's build-in function and also using postie. I am using a gmx.com account with port 110 since gmail doesn't work.

Does anyone know what’s wrong? Thanks!

Ok, so now I can send posts no problem. But whether I send an e-mail or an MMS from my mobile to Wordpress through Postie it shows up as a grey box. Maybe I can understand the MMS not being translatable or something, but my phone just accesses my normal mail (GMX) though POP3. Note: If I send an e-mail with attached picture from my GMX E-mail account to my Wordpress blog through Postie, it shows up as it should i.e. the text & image shown in the post. And the e-mail I sent from my phone shows up as an e-mail with attached picture in my mailbox. The very same message has the greybox problem as above. I really think it's a Wordpress or Postie issue rather than my mobile carrier. Please any help needed thanks in advance James That last comment isn’t really so important.

I've decided to go for Cronless Postie. Works great. Simple setup. My regular "post by e-mail" function is also working. But I am a bit perplexed by the following error I get when I run: http://gator868.hostgator.com/~rodders/wp-mail.php Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Inappropriate ioctl for device (errno 25) in /home/rodders/public_html/wp-mail.php on line 3 Looking in my wp-mail.php file here is the text: " Writing * * @package WordPress */ /** Make sure that the WordPress bootstrap has run before continuing. */ require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php'); /** Get the POP3 class with which to access the mailbox. */ require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-pop3.php' ); $time_difference = absint(get_option('gmt_offset')) * 3600; $phone_delim = '::'; $pop3 = new POP3(); if ( ! $pop3->connect(get_option('mailserver_url'), get_option('mailserver_port') ) || ! $pop3->user(get_option('mailserver_login')) || ( ! $count = $pop3->pass(get_option('mailserver_pass')) ) ) { $pop3->quit(); wp_die( ( 0 === $count ) ? __("There doesn't seem to be any new mail.") : wp_specialchars($pop3->ERROR) ); }" I'm not very good at figuring out what line 3 is. I need to read up on how to figure out what determines a line. Any ideas? Thanks James Hi Thanks Russell

That seems clear. I’ve decided to go for Cronless Postie. Works great. Simple setup.
My regular “post by e-mail” function is also working.
But I am a bit perplexed by the following error I get when I run: http://gator868.hostgator.com/~rodders/wp-mail.php

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Inappropriate ioctl for device (errno 25) in /home/rodders/public_html/wp-mail.php on line 3

Looking in my wp-mail.php file here is the text:

” Writing
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/** Make sure that the WordPress bootstrap has run before continuing. */
require(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-load.php’);

/** Get the POP3 class with which to access the mailbox. */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-pop3.php’ );

$time_difference = absint(get_option(‘gmt_offset’)) * 3600;

$phone_delim = ‘::’;

$pop3 = new POP3();

if ( ! $pop3->connect(get_option(‘mailserver_url’), get_option(‘mailserver_port’) ) ||
! $pop3->user(get_option(‘mailserver_login’)) ||
( ! $count = $pop3->pass(get_option(‘mailserver_pass’)) ) ) {
$pop3->quit();
wp_die( ( 0 === $count ) ? __(“There doesn’t seem to be any new mail.”) : wp_specialchars($pop3->ERROR) );
}”

I’m not very good at figuring out what line 3 is. I need to read up on how to figure out what determines a line.

Any ideas?

Thanks

James

The 6th paragraph from the bottom goes into some details about this. You need to set-up a cron job that runs at a specified interval so it checks your postie e-mail account.
