Automator has released iPhone Mail Rules installer, a series of mail rules that allow
you to use your iPhone as a remote control for your home computer.
The mail rules are triggered by email messages you send from your iPhone to the computer you installed the rules on. Each rule has a specific conditions that must be met in order for the rule action to execute:
- The email message must be from the email address you specify.
- The subject of email message must begin with one of the installed commands.
- The subject of email message must end with a 4-character security code you specify.
iPhone Mail Rules Features
- Add to Blog: This rule will add a photo taken and sent by your iPhone to your iWeb blog.
- Add to iPhoto: This rule will add a photo taken and sent by your iPhone to your iPhoto library.
- List Folder: This rule will send you an email containing a list of the items in a folder specified in the triggering email. This is very useful for locating and getting the name of a file on the target computer.
- Send Document: This rule will send you an email containing a document specified in the triggering email. Since the iPhone has the ability to view certain mail attachments, Microsoft Word documents, PDF files, and image files work best.
iPhone Mail Rules v1.0 is available for download from Automator. Please note that Automator suggests that you utilize these mail rule actions at your own risk, as passwords or ID's sent in email have a potential to be compromised. |
