• I followed the instructions over at Wiki to set up my email blogging and it worked.

    My email post would only show up when I execute the wp-mail.php manually.

    I tried to set up cron jobs to do it by typing:

    curl http://mydomain.com/wp/wp-mail.php

    and got the following error instead:

    does anyone know what’s the problem? Earlier on I tried wget and got similar errors too…

    I am using John Blade’s wp-mail mod.
