Upload from many people

I just got back from a wedding weekend and stuck with being the contact person for everyone's photos.

As a power user, what can I do? I understand that I can upgrade to pro and that would solve all of my problems. However, I was wondering if there are any other options.

I recall that I tell people to upload via e-mail.

However, this seems like I'm changing my login e-mail address, and that I can only do this for one person at a time.

Any other options? Send to Smumug?

    It should be possible to get the people to email the photos to smugmug. You'll then have the unenviable task of sorting the photos into a proper gallery.

    In the control panel, click on "change email address". Do _not_ alter your email address, but add a photo email password in the relevant field.

    Anyone can then email photos to username@email.smugmug.com
    It is important that they put the email password in the _subject_line_ of their email. If they do not, then the photos will not be uploaded (there is no rejection notice).
