Thank you for this and the related post. But I’m still not clear on how to actually implement this. Here’s my dilemma: I’d like to have all emails sent to a certain email address to be converted into something akin to news items in a members-only website area. RSS seemed to be the way to accomplish this, but I don’t know how to have the RSS feed secure.

Going beyond theory, what is the best way to implement this? Thanks!

In testing out trying to connect to secure intranet sites by various means I just discovered that the three mainstream RSS Readers I was trying were sending out intranet usernames and passwords to validation sites on the Internet without warning in the guise of activating an internal (local) RSS validation feature. Thank goodness for dynamic IP addresses.

I think this indicates the coders are not taking security that seriously and not even putting much thought into how the programs work or will be used.
