Check "From:" on post-by-email

[skeltoac]

peet[dot]dk: hi, I whant to send mail2blog and it work fine with wp2 and cron. The problem is there isn't any "filter" on the function. What can I do so its only mail FROM a decided pop3 account that will be posted, and not any mail that comes to the selected mail account.

I don't want to put this in the core, but maybe a filter hook would make this possible via plugin.

Following patch adds 'mail_post_pre' as an action before calling wp_insert_post(). It passes $post_data as an argument.

Candidate for 2.0.5.

-1 as exists. Should be a filter for increased flexibility, and should happen before everything is quoted for DB insertion.

Also the hook would have to filter the e-mail message, not the post data. Pushing back to 2.1

No real traction for over a year, so closing as wontfix.
