For those using Google Blogger to submit a blog post using an email, this feature appears to have stopped working.
My last successful post using the email method was on Thursday 26/7/2012 at 4:29pm. I noticed blogging using email stopped working on Sunday 29/7/2012 at 12:15pm. Blogging thus ceased to work between these times. A number of other people appear to be experiencing the same problem.
I've written this blog entry so that people who find this post will know the problem isn't on their end, but on Google's end. Also if you need to post a blog entry, I've found the web site and an app on the iPhone I use works.

No problem too small.
Update: Monday 11:40am. I noticed that some blogs have been updated by email but not all. Can't be sure if when the updates occurred to the blogs which received the posts. This reminds me of when a mail server stops working and then because of the large backlog created, it takes time to clear. I just tested and email post to a blog and it didn't work. Blogger could still be trying to clear a backlog or it may simply have failed. All we can do is wait and test.
Update: Monday 12:52pm. I noticed another blog was updated from an email post that I sent yesterday. This gives me a good feeling the backlog may be progressively clearing. If they do clear it will be a good idea to check that posts have come through and you haven't inadvertently doubled up by trying to repost.
Update: Monday 5:11pm. All blog posts sent via email have now come through. All posts accounted for so no posts were lost.

I have the same problem.
