I was pointed to the service smtp2web a while back, but I’ve been trying it out and it doesn’t seem to work. Are there any others out there? Any way to accomplish this in ruby?
I write an email and send it to lanceJpollard@smtp2web and get this response immediately:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Update
Duntadada: Sendgrid.
Point a subdomain MX record to our server, we parse incoming emails and post attachments and body contents to your web forms. Useful to have uploads@subdomain.yourdomain.com or interact with users through email.
You could write a small Google App Engine app which receives the email and then posts it to wherever you want using urlfetch.

App Engine is free unless you have a lot of traffic.
It supports Python or Java, not Ruby though.
