Email to a WordPress post — if you know the secret code

2020-05-08 · Status: publish · Content, raw

Getting the plug-in Postie to work at a Pair hosted WordPress site involves these steps:

  • Set up a regular email address.
  • Establish it on the correct mail server. rauterkus.mail.pairserver.com
  • Test to make sure that the emails can be delivered to the address you've established and that the emails are not bouncing. It might take 20 minutes before the address is working. 
  • Ports, either: POP3-SSL: 995 or IMAP-SSL: 993
  • The Login Name is the address that the email is sent to.
  • The password is the password for the email account for that username.
Postie insights

Postie is being used at Blog.SwimISCA.org. Perhaps it can be used at other sites in the future too.

WordPress gateway from email to post

Default WordPress administration screen has these fields. We are not using this. Rather, upgraded to Postie as a plug in as it does more with images and such.
