User to user email for Drupal site - drupal

I would like to allow users of my Drupal site to send anonymous email to each other but have not found a module that does this. Coding is likely not an option for me for this issue as I'm both new to Drupal and don't know PHP.
Does anyone know if there is a module to help with this?
If there are no modules then code I will. Any example code or recommended learning resources would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Could something like this work? It is a private messaging addon, allowing users to communicate on the site, it also provides users with the option "notify-by-email". Assuming i understood your question. Anonymous as in not able to see each others e-mail.

posting to a wordpress blog using XML-RPC without credentials

I would like to be able to create a post from within my iPhone app/server code.
I'm guessing there is no problem doing it with XML-RPC.
The thing is that my app user needs to give me his admin user/password to the blog, which is something I would like to avoid (as a user I would have a problem disclosing this data myself)
The question is - can I avoid it somehow? Having the user install a plugin I wrote that will somehow help me seems more reasonable to me - the question is: "Will it help? What can be done?
Creative solutions are welcomed...
Security through obscurity is never a good idea I would suggest just making your username and password the same thing while setting the user role to Author.This would all you to post with little effort.

drupal webform cannot send out emails

I am using Drupal7, when I enable the module "Webform Select Email", the other webform could not send out email. I have no idea what's going on there.
Have you guys met this before?
It would be better if you can provide with last few log entries from your Drupal and apache logs. Please make sure both the modules do not override each other's functions in recursive manner!

User privacy in WordPress file access

Is it possible to create WordPress users that can only view their own uploads and not all of the uploads in the media library? If so, how?
Ultimately, I want to have a password protected interface where I can exchange files with my clients. Because of privacy issues, I do not want clients to be able to view each others files, or see any information about each other. Any ideas on how to make this possible would be greatly appreciated.
There is a plugin that should be able to handle this:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-and-document-monitoring/
However, you might be better off switching to Joomla to take advantage of DocMan:

Can drupal do this?

I am a php developer using mostly CakePHP, magento, and wordpress. I want to create a community driven website aimed at the volunteering community that will let users sign up, create profiles, add previous voluntary positions, let organisations sign up and post jobs, etc. Is this something that drupal can handle? Is this what drupal was built to do?
I'm just wondering how drupal deals with custom methods. Say I wanted to have a user request a reference from someone, I'd have to write methods that did this. Would that be possible in drupal?
I'd love to hear from anyone doing something similar!
Thanks,

Can Drupal do this?
Yes.
You may want to take a look at drupal commons a distribution of drupal with a lot of community features built in.
My answer is exactly the same as Jeremy... I have never done a project that has not benefited from drupal and its highly extendible nature.
It sounds like your project is quite large and is going to require a fair few modules to get going. I would have an extensive google for the different spec points you need to meet (for example: "drupal user profile module") and be sure to look at the related modules down the side.

Drupal provides hooks which allow you to interact with most aspects of it. Custom functionality goes into modules and pretty much everything you will deal with is a module.
Lastly I can't find any examples, but I know that projects like yours have successfully been done using drupal!
Yes.
And If you are going to use the drupal 7 then it can be done very easily. You just have to manage some fields and just to assign a proper permissions to the users.
These tasks can be done with drupal. There are already module exists for User Profile, User Relationships, Groups etc. All post can be handled as node concept. User registration, user sign up all are available at the installation of Drupal. And it is extensible.

Need to submit the register info in eloqua from Drupal

Need to post the registration info to eloqua too.
I am using Drupal 6.14
I didn't ask the original question, but I might be able to shed a little more light. I am a consultant, and I work at Eloqua.
Eloqua is a marketing automation database. Having the registrations flow from Drupal into Eloqua would allow things like moving that info over into a CRM system, or sending a follow up email with the registration details.
Our clients have integrated with other CMS systems.
Now, in terms of the registrations, there are a couple of ways Eloqua could receive that data. Perhaps the simplest way would be through some sort of form repost, IF that is allowed in Drupal. So, someone would register, that data would enter Drupal, and then be reposted into Eloqua. It looks like people (including the initial poster) have been able to make this work succesfully on regular forms The other way would be to utilize Eloqua's API. This would require someone to build out a module that would facilitate that.
