How does the archive work in gmail?

I guess I’ll find out.

Now it's cooking!

So far I’ve been able to construct a system pretty much the way I initially envisioned it by leveraging existing paid services (i.e., my own domain, email and filters) and free services (i.e., Gmail & Blogger/Blogspot). I set up a “poor man’s spam filter” on the account that cybercomment@gmail.com forwards to. This cuts every one out EXCEPT those on the whitelist. Simultaneously, everything which is not let through goes through my regular spam filter, so I get to see the good submissions by real people and I can then

1)      Forward them along to the gmail account,

2)      Add the sender’s email to the whitelist.

I started out with a short whitelist including my own email address for testing.

This is my big brain storm

The way I envision it working is that someone sends an email to the cybercomment@gmail.com address. This email is spam protected with a safe list. This means the first time someone sends an email to do a post they need to be authorized (by me). After that their email is cleared and they can post directly to the site with emails.

Soliciting is fine.... uh, for legal products and services, that is.

I don't know if this will work or not, but the technology is there. It's target market is the blog reader and/or commentor who wants to sporadically post something.
