Been working on this for the past few days. Got the hardest done. This new system works on my local server and is basically a layer that mail goes through after spam filtering, and it will parse news emails and the emails it can parse successfully, it will place the information in a database and put the email asside for backup/reference, and it will send the failed parsed emails to the curent gmail account for manual posting, I'm also trying to figure out how to get it to bounce with a message saying to use a better mail format.

Back to the database (not yet created) a robot will periodicly read this database and if any news releases are waiting, it will post them on the site then clear the DB. So all I'll have to do is validate the postings and boom, a day's worth of news posted. Even in full production lot of tweaking will have to be done with the bot though but this will greatly increase posting speed, and save me tons of time so I can work on other stuff on the site.

But meanwhile, there may be a lack of news posting as I'm working on this instead.

Just need to make the bot then tweak the parsing rules, and we're all set.

For some reason the news script is screwed up now, it keeps saying news articles are from source of CPU Vertex and this only happened after I added them in the affiliate list. So time to redesign the process script anyway, it's some n00b php code, really nasty. I've come a long way.
