I finally got so sick of Webintellects crappy hosting service that I moved this domain over to Dreamhost. Most of the transition went pretty smoothly, but DH handles mail differently from WI. Before, I used .forward to send my incoming mail through a Perl mail handler built around Mail::Audit. Among other things, this handler handled moblogging by looking for mail sent to a certain address, parsing out the content, saving the image, creating a thumbnail, and posting to WordPress. DH seems to prefer procmail, and rather than re-learn that, I thought I’d take the opportunity to ditch some of my own code and make use of wp-mail. Starting with the work that John Blade did to add image support to wp-mail, I added thumbnailing using wp_create_thumbnail, and — hey presto, I’ve put another few hours into my exercise in web-based narcissism. Here’s my version of wp-mail.php.
