Remote publishing recognize e-mail address stops cronjob

We currently have remote publishing enabled and setup a cronjob to go out to a mailbox and retrieve messages and then automatically publish them on the site. The cronjob and posting works fine until we enable the recognize e-mail address feature. When we enable it the cronjob stops pulling the e-mails out of the mailbox. Ideally we'd like to be able to pull an e-mail from the mailbox and link it to a blogger and/or Community Builder member so that the church member who sent the e-mail is properly identified by their e-mail address when the blog entry is posted. Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks for your help!
