After spending some time trying to set up blogging by email in wordpress and getting it to run using WP-CRON, I think that I finally got it working.

I followed these steps:

1. Download Postie (http://www.economysizegeek.com/?page_id=395)
2. Unzip the file, and follow the instructions in the readme-file for configuration
3. Test that it works, using e.g. http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php
4. Download WP-CRON http://www.skippy.net/blog/category/wordpress/plugins/wp-cron/ (if you don’t have access to setup a real cronjob on your server)
5. Unzip the file, upload and configure using the readme-file.
6. Next you’ll have to create a new PHP-file, that actualle runs exactly the postie get_mail.php. The file should look something like this.
7. Put the file in /wp-content/plugins/wp-cron-folder/
8. Activate the plugin under Plugins.
