Back in May I discussed using RssFwd to send RSS feeds into your email. I have grown less fond of the service each day. Often the site is down so I can't add or delete feeds. I sometimes would go for days without any RSS feeds then suddenly get flooded with scores of them. They've started a beta site, but I'm experiencing similar issues with that site too.
I installed rss2email on my iBook and it works great! You have to be comfortable with a Unix shell window to get it going and know something about your SMTP server. But if you're comfortable with that, it's the way to go. I first attempted to use it on a SunOS system I have access to. It didn't work. The author of the software worked with me and got it going, but I was having issues sending email which I don't think is related to the rss2email software. I will revisit using the SunOS system, but for now it works fine off my iBook.
