Testing posting from my mail client. Success?
Well, I have installed “Postie” plugin for wordpress on our blog. Postie
makes it easy for blogging by sending a mail to a custom email account
which it monitors for any new email and then posts it.
So, why postie? The default WordPress email poster doesn’t have much
options such as tag, category handling. You can send images, videos etc.
as attachments and then insert the image #tags inside the body and it
pastes them there.
You can select multiple categories/tags by writing them inside the body
of the email, you can delay the posting by days, reply to the email to
comment, include excerpts, supports HTML/plaintext email, supports
SSL too for fetching email from the server, and strips off your
signature from the end too. 
For some advanced usage, see this link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/other_notes/
So, now I can just open my mail, and start writing and publish by click
of a button. No more hassles of opening a browser, then logging in and
then clicking on “write a new post”, bla bla bla.
Just because I am so “proud” of doing everything on the terminal, and
since I have configured mutt as my email client, I think I’m getting
paranoid about doing everything by typing only.

What about security?
How does the system prevent anyone else other than you from submitting blog posts through that email interface?
@shashank: Now expect more posts, now that it is actually working.
@uetsah: Yes, the system is configured to post mails from only my email address. Though there is a user-level control on who all can post and with what privileges. And then there is a secret email address which you create which is accessed through pop/imap for the new mails, which nobody knows.
