See the post a couple below - I'm trying to set up a mailing list for people here to be notified of new posts.

I managed to do it but it only seems to email the posts I make here (so far anyway) which is kind of weird.

just came back from that post... hmmm seems very technical for me.. good luck.. however i don't know if there's a need for it.. why don't u just let people come here to check for posts for themselves... treat the blog as an inbox...

For convenience really - because the posting here is quite random and intermittent - you can forget to check for a couple of days and there's heaps. I just wanted to make it as useful as possible for busy/absent minded people (like me!)

rmail works!

i got an email just now for my latest post!

there was a 32 minute difference between the initial posting and the rmail notification!

I got a mail too! Super - it is now all apparently working.

So what is happening is that Feedburner has made an RSS feed of this place.

That feed is emailed to [this place] at Gmail.

Gmail then emails anything with "rmail" in the subject line to uaecommunity at google groups.

That should be how it works, anyway.

Can you tell me the exact route of the mail you managed to get, samuraisam?

have you gotten it to work yet SD?

i think the rmail thing is the simplist solution, it takes upwards of 30 mins to update, but it works, and is free (:

It's working, but I'm not quite sure how it's working, because I set it up in so many ways. I will forward it to you and maybe you can figure it out.

It's not duplicating or relaying which is good.

well, you'll have to use the feedburner site for rmail to work, and rmail will put a tag at the bottom of its thing;
checking the email u sent me
(didnt think you could've had a more OBVIOUS address (: )
