I was thinking, maybe, about something that automatically e-mailled a me-selection list of folks when I updated my journal.

But without accounts or some other form of authentication, LJ has no way to know whether someone is a person that you approved to see the post or not.

journal to friends only.

Mailing list for people who dislike livejournal, or are confused by technology, or simply find the account inaccessible for other reasons, like work firewalls.

That actually sounds like a pretty good plan... Except, of course, I'd prefer to have it automated. I guess you can't have everything.

Yeah, that's not bad at all - a good feature request for the LJ team. Adding an email address to a custom filter (or to your friends list) and having it send mail to them on your behalf when you update. There would be potential for abuse if LJ automated that, though - people could spam purchased "friends lists" using their servers.

It is possible that there's software that does this. Investigate ecto; it seems to have a lot of features.
