It would also be nice if such automatic emails or notes could be scanned and analyzed, for example to let you create polls or create a signup list for an event in a CSV file.
- Normally there is no direct method of verifying the true identity of someone filling in such a form on your website, so a bad agent could send you spam or overload your Inbox in this way. So you would want some method of rate limiting inputs from a particular IP address.
- You could come up with a method of sharing a secret to verify the identity of the sender, but again they could just get a Fastmail account and send you an email directly and the contents would be securely contained within the Fastmail system and so would be secure.
