[TYPO3-ttnews] creating news records from email

[Johannes Hovda]

Hi,

Has anyone heard of an extension where you can allow some email  
addresses to send news items in by an email?

E.g. user at domain.com has permission to send news items by email.
Whenever this person sends an email to e.g. newsbox at domain.com, the  
email is parsed and inserted as a news item. The senders name would  
be author, email address is there, time-date should not be a problem,  
if there were any images, they could be inserted, subject field could  
be the header etc.

As long as you predefine who are allowed to post to this, I don't see  
much problem with spam either, unless you were a very popular site,  
like CNN or something. But for the average small business, church,  
community, local newspaper etc, this shouldn't be much of an issue.

Anyone heard of anything like this?

Kind regards
Johannes
