Can you post by email from a script?

    since wordpress.com blogs changed to https, my xmlrpc remote posting (to the WordPress.com blog) broke. I tried everything to get it to work but only get 403 error.

    So I decided to just

    mail(“post-by-email-address-I-set-up”,”Title”,”post body”,”From:(email visible only to moderators and staff)”)

    But that doesn’t work. The mail function works if I send it to myself. The post by mail address works if I send it out from my own account.

    It just doesn’t work from the php script.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    It isn’t possible to post by email from a script — the email has to be sent by you directly. However, I can help investigate the issue with xmlrpc remote posting to see if we can get that working for you again.

    Can you provide more details about the method you’re using to try to post? Also, are you using an HTTP URL or the HTTPS URL https://orlandolunes.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php there?
