We filter out these sort of requests as they can easily be abused by spammers.

The emails must come from an actually email or webmail client.

i want use "Post by Email" feature,but have some problems,my blog can't reveive email!
at first i use phpmailer,and here is the code:

require_once('./class-phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP

try {
$mail->Host = "pop.gmail.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "[email redacted]"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "mypwd"; // GMAIL password

// $mail->AddAddress("[email redacted]","justanimal");
//$mail->AddBCC("[email redacted]","justanimal");
$mail->AddAddress("[email redacted]","xiehua");
//$mail->AddAddress("[email redacted]","xiehua");
$mail->SetFrom('[email redacted]',"xiehua");
$mail->AddReplyTo('[email redacted]', 'xiehua');
$mail->Subject = 'hello';
$mail->MsgHTML("[title hello] [tags hello,animals] helloworld");
$mail->Send();
echo "Message Sent OK</p>\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}
