  Every now and then I use a small Python script to post things to this blog. All it does is convert the piece originally written in Markdown into HTML and send it via one of my personal email addresses to the Post-by-Email generated address.

  The first few attempts were working fine. Now that I’ve updated the script a bit, anything I send via email is not appearing on the Posts list. I know the script is functional because it works on Blogger.

  The script was intended to be a learning exercise in Python coding, so it’s pretty harmless. Here’s the source if anyone wishes to look.

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

  From @kardotim’s comments here, it does look like using scripts to send posts via email is disallowed, as the emails get marked as spam. Can anyone confirm?

  @thistimethisspace: Thanks! I’ll probably have to consider moving this one somewhere else that allows it.
