 * Hi,
 * We need the plugin postie for new posts (via email). My default preferences are,
   that new posts will expire after two hours. But with postie, this presettings
   are not taken.
 * So is there another way (maybe with shortcodes)? And what I have to do?

 * I’m the author of Postie and I took a look at the Post Expirator code to see 
   how things work.
    To allow Postie to work with Post Expirator some additional
   code would need to be written as a Postie AddOn to create the custom fields that
   Post Expirator expects.

 * Hi Wayne
 * Thanks for your fast reply.
 * I’m afraid, that I have to do it manually, since we need it next week to run 
   for an event with event-screens. Or do you have other suggestions?
 * Kind regards.
    Don

 * If there is any hooks or anything that would make this easier, let me know – 
   happy to make some tweaks to the post expirator backend

 * Thanks Aaron. Take a look at [http://postieplugin.com/extending/](http://postieplugin.com/extending/)
 * I’d recommend setting the various meta data in postie_post_before or postie_post_after

 * As a small NPO we can’t afford a individually solution extra paying for that.
   So we will do it manually (it will be next weekend and we should also test it).
   But it would be an interesting option for future… Thanks for your replies!

 * Would be interested to know if you ever managed to get this working? I am also
   looking for a solution to be able to post with Postie, and expire them somehow.
 * Thanks

 * [@mgreatorex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgreatorex/) Some integration
   code needs to be written to allow Postie to provide the extra expiration information
   to Post Expirator. You can do this yourself (see [http://postieplugin.com/extending/](http://postieplugin.com/extending/))
   or contact me at [help@postieplugin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postie-4/help@postieplugin.com?output_format=md)
   if you’d like to explore having me do it.
