It is a PHP script which reads an POP3 or IMAP mailaccount.
I placed it as a wrapper modul on my page http://www.beyernetz.de

I use the wordpress one and this is a great feature for letting others publish articles on your site with out having them access to your admin. I would suggest an option to allow to have them inserted either active or non active. I assume this would be feature in settings.

If implemented, think of mail admin new submission is done.... so he can activate it.

Thanks for all the great responses! This is an area of PHP (with cronjobs, etc) that I have never used and it is completely new for me.
The idea's are sounding nice, but I think I am going for an easy solution if that is not to much work. I am going to install wordpress on a subdomain weblog.domain.tld and then I am going to give that a simular design as the original website. This way I don't have to do much PHP coding and can easily do something with a template for wordpress. Another point it saves me time when I do so as I don't have much spare time lately...

If you have cpanel or direct server access then all you need to do is create a new mail account.
Pipe it to your php script. Then bin the mail so it doesn't take up to much space.
This means you won't need a cron.
The php script needs to be on the same server as the mailserver
