Hey, the general idea worked for me. Of course, the
Java-running-on-the-phone approach doesn't strike me as working so
well. It's much better to set up an address on your mail server,
and have your MTA route your keitai mail through some custom scripts
that deal with filtering. And of course your outgoing mail from
your phone has to go through different scripts on your server to
get proper header rewriting. It took me no more than a few hours
to set up, and I'd be happy to give you the information you need
to set this up on your mail server.

She's not a journalist; she's actually described as a researcher
and consultant, or something like that. She works for her own
company (i.e., unemployed), so I guess she doesn't get paid.
