I see some threads from back in 2002 about posting via email to UBB. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

There was some talk about email piping or an imap email client scraping a server; but nothing came to light.

Anyone have ideas? Lack of this one feature may cause us to leave UBB.

I don't think any product offers an email piping option...

That's the research I'm doing now -- but I've got a couple I've been told already that I need to go and verify.

I only know of one vendor that supported the feature and one user I know suffered hacking. The one user I know of closed the board.
I will not give details.

I think you will find that very very few support it now due to security risks.

To many smart hackers around now.
