Mail 2 FF

What is the error message returned from mail2ff? It's at the end of the paragraph that you started to quote. - Gary Burd

sorry for the late reply .. been really busy tonight .. it said that the recipient domain had refused the connection ..I sent it to the wrong room by mistake only to realize that right after I sent it .. then I sent it to the right room and it still came back undelivered.. .I changed my remote key and it worked the 3rd time <edit>I do hope I don't have to change my remote key everytime I need to or want to use Mail2FF</edit> - JohnBfromMemphis

seems like Mail2FF is down. i just got a "Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain..." error :-( - AJ Batac ♘

i have the right remote key. but it still doesn't work! - quanmengli

I tried to use it yesterday and got a bounce back. - Michael Zitek

Mail2ff is unable to submit items to FriendFeed because Mail2ff has hit a limit imposed by FriendFeed. I am investigating how to fix this. - Gary Burd

Mail2ff is working again. Thank you for reporting the problem. - Gary Burd

it still doesn't work - Z'HuNG Lee

I see three entries posted via mail2ff at http://friendfeed.com/hung. Can you provide more details on what's not working? - Gary Burd

i just updated 3 posts with mail2ff after these posts, but no one can be display on my page. - Z'HuNG Lee

it's ok now. but it is not so stable. - Z'HuNG Lee

Mail2ff has not posted anything I sent it for over 12 hours. Should I resend? Or is this a matter of ask and make happen, instead of it posting automatically? - Josh Jenkins

FriendFeed returns an error to Mail2ff for your messages. Resending will not help. I suspect that the two causes are: message subject is blank, image format not supported by FriendFeed. Work to return informative errors from Mail2ff is in progress. What image format are you sending? - Gary Burd

Gary: .bmp; Though I don't believe that is a major problem. A recommended solution would be if Mail2ff can send an automatic email back stating what the problem was specifically. Hopefully it can handle that kind of Algorithm. Otherwise, we'll never know outside of this discussion. I'll change it to a .jpg and try resending it. - Josh Jenkins

Work to return errors to the sender is in progress. - Gary Burd

My message never posted. any way I can check to see if it was received by friendfeed? - John Frost

John, Mail2ff received an error from FriendFeed when submitting your message. I expect that you will get message about this in a day or so. - Gary Burd

FYI, same here. Posted through Mail2ff last night but never posted. Appreciate the time you're putting in on this, though, Gary. Great idea. - Jim Stanger

Jim, your message was above the Mail 2 FF size limit. Your mail server should have returned a message to you shortly after you sent it. - Gary Burd

Whoops. Thanks, bud. I'll send smaller pix. - Jim Stanger

Gray, the Mail2FF's maximum attachment size is ? 1M? OR? - quanmengli

The maximum message size is approximately 1.5 MB. - Gary Burd

sent the message to bluecockatoo+[my key here]@mail2ff.com - right? - Lindsay Donaghe

Lindsay, can you please double check your key? Mail2ff returns this error on authentication error from FriendFeed. - Gary Burd

people keep posting testing stuff in this room :) - Jansen Lu

Is that a complaint or an encouragement, Jansen? I guess the smilie face makes it the latter... - Phil Glockner

Good idea, that makes sense. - Scott Ludwig

nickname+key+room is better, it's help to remember every room mail via autocomplete. - gmarketer

With sprint at least, you need to download the photo from their dumb website (I think there's a tag in the html that gives the url). Also, it would be cool to address rooms using +roomname (nickname+key+room@ff2mail.com). - Paul Buchheit

Is this intended to be more for phone 2 mail, as Paul is trying? My test from a standard e-mail client was picture perfect. (I assume it works with GMail as well) - Louis Gray

re: rooms - I will add support tomorrow. re: sprint - I'll see what I can do if you send example mail to my Gmail account. - Gary Burd

re: intended use - Although mail2ff can be used from any email client, I built mail2ff for use use on camera phones. Sending email to @mail2ff.com from a desktop computer is not any easier than using FriendFeed's web UI. For most phones, email is the only way to upload a photo. - Gary Burd

It's also handy for forwarding content into ff from email or cc'ing ff. - Paul Buchheit

Is specifying one's own storage anywhere on the roadmap? =) - Alex

@bleys Can you give an example of the storage you want to use? - Gary Burd

Thanks Gary! - Mitchell Tsai

Great job - thanks for putting this together Gary! - Frederic

@Gary: Gallery2 where I currently keep photos and such. A Picasa album. I understand that any personalization like this will require storing user data on mail2ff server (everything needed for the existing workflow comes in the e-mail, right?), so it's a large and not-KISS change for sure - Alex

it worked well using gmail with my mobile phone,using a photo as attachment! thank you for this. mobile posting with images makes ff (even more) better than twitter!!! - Alessandro
