secret email address
-
OK here is my predicament. We are on a roadtrip in July and some of the places we will only be able to update the blog via SMS only. this excludes MMS. I have a solution that works using SMS2email app by aql.
This gives as a telephone number to text to with a prefix of the email address in the text field for it to work. Thats all fine but as texts are restricted to 160 characters we want to get as much in as possible.
Now the problem. the secret email address that wordpress generates is 30 characters. My solution initially was to creat a google account using the minimum legnth name and forward the account to the secret email address. The only problem is that doing this needs a verification code that is sent to the target account and I cant get to see this as I cant get to the inbox. Is there any way around this.
By the way the places we are going are all the Stans like uzbekestan kygystan etc and theres no mms coverage there
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m afraid not. The post-by-email feature really requires you use the secret e-mail directly, and since anyone with the email address can post to your blog, it’s not a great idea to connect it to an easy to remember e-mail address.
I know it’s not as good as posting right away, but could you write the posts while you are away from internet access, and then wait to post them until you have reliable internet?

Thanks for the response Liz I have now found a solution using bouncr which significantly shortens it
