Thank you so much for the information!

Did you implement the email feature in DynaBlogger from scratch?

I have been on the look-out for open-source projects that do email-as-a-CMS for a long time. I build websites and blogs for companies and individuals, and any CMS that I include (other than self-hosted Ghost) is very harsh on the content teams of these companies.

They are non-technical people who don't understand frontmatter and markdown. Email looks like the perfect publishing medium for this demographic.

Can you give me some direction on how I can build myself an email-CMS solution similar to what you have implemented in DybaBlogger? Thanks!

Sure! DynaBlogger is a Rails app, so I could use some built in support for this called ActionMailbox. It's pretty simple really and it supports various email services. I use Postmark for this :)
Perfect! You have given me enough information to get started.

Thank you! And all the best for DynaBlogger!! :)
