I am testing a new Joomla component here called Content by Mail, see
here for more info http://mbaas.de/content/blogcategory/76/59/lang,en/
This is a great little mambot that allows you add content directly to
your Joomla site by email. And I quote from the web site "ContentByMail
- My tool ContentByMail enables creation of content for the CMS
Mambo/Joomla! by email! ......... So now any mambo/Joomla-based website
can be maintained from everywhere, as long as you get a chance to send
an email! :)"

What I really find exciting about this component is that it allows me to
update my web site from my Email client with a plain text message. So, I
am going to give it a go and see what happens. My first thought when I
read about this was how I am going to make sure some Viagra spam does
not end up on my web site, well, when you get into it there are quite
few ways to prevent that, for one the address of the mail box, only
accept mails from one address, send a password in the mail body,
delayed publish, notification back to valid sender of something being
posted etc, the chances of a spam getting through all that is pretty
remote.

So, I hope to be doing a lot more updating of the web site now.
