 * Hi folks,
    I’ve seen some threads about this topic, but it wasn’t ever very specific(
   or maybe I missed it). The topic is whether there’s a way for WordPress to automatically
   check the email address for postings on a regular basis so that it will automatically
   post to the blog. Some topics mention something called a “cron” job. I’m afraid
   I have no idea what that is! Is someone will to provide a step-by-step instruction
   on how to set something like that up? Thanks!

 * You will have to contact your host for a CRON job to be set up.

 * But some ISP’s doesn’t allow you to set up your own cron jobs, as mine. 🙁
    I
   have looked somewhat for another solution but not found anytjing that I’m happy
   with, and I mostly want it for posting from my mobile phone. With picture preferably…

 * Well, what do I put in the cron job. I figured out the place where I put it– 
   do I put the URL where it needs to look for the job? The whole URL?

 * Is it possible to run the cron job on another server?
    I have a linux server 
   at home which I can configure to do anything with – but my blog on another server
   with a hosting server and they do not allow Cron Jobs. I too am trying to get
   moblogging to work. hmmm – maybe I should just host the whole thing from my local
   server instead….. Cheers, Sean.

 * you may look for various website monitoring services and get the required page
   checked by it at regular intervals… tat way it will work.

 * you can use a remote server, like a home box, to run the script, just cron it
   to hit the url when you want it to happen.

 * ok I think I figured it out WordPress/wp-mal.php but when I ping that I do get
   a message but I also get a lot of crypto junk from the signature of the email(
   it was a signed email). How do I clean this up ?
