Nope, I updated my WordPress with the latest download. Everything wp-* was deleted as per the instructions and the new files uploaded using filezilla. That string was not in my wp-mail.php file.

What I ended up having to do to solve the problem was to create a new user with Author privileges whose email address was the same as the special email address created for WordPress.

Nope, didn’t work for me. I didn’t have that line in my wp-mail.php file. What worked was creating a new user whose email address was the one that was set up with the special codes in order to post by email.

I’m having the problem of being stuck in pending preview too. I don’t have anything like this in my wp-mail.php file. Don’t have a clue as to where it would go.

// Author not found in DB, set status to pending. Author already set to admin.

No it doesn’t make a difference. I tried from two different email accounts and they were still stuck in pending review.
