More hints on the rules solution (if you'd rather learn it yourself, spoilers ahead).

Create a triggered rule for "After saving new content", with a condition that the user has the anonymous role. Add an action to "Send a mail to an arbitrary mail address". You probably have an email field on the content type of the node that was just created, so use that field as the Recipient. The simplest way to generate the unique key for the publish/unpublish link is to enable PHP evaluation in rules, which would allow you to, say, concatenate the email address, the node timestamp, and the nodeid, then get the md5() of that. Include the node id in the url querystring separately. The url should point to /activate-my-content, which is just a Page you created that contains the error message to show the user if they have a bad md5 hash.

Create a new rule, triggered by "User is going to view a page". Add actions to "load content by id" (<?php echo $_GET['nodeid'];?>). Then, you just need to check the content type and author (anonymous), and redirect if the md5 matches. You can do that in a custom php action, or by creating a ruleset that accepts the node as an argument (and has conditions that check the content type, author, and md5) and does the redirect. You should also add an action that shows a confirmation message at the top of the page. If the user is not redirected, they will see the error message on your /activate-my-content page.

Hi,

Scenario

I need for anonymous users to post content online for free, the user should be able to add the content to the website and also input his/her email, after posting they get a redirection to a page that will ask them to check their email to activate/publish their content. They should receive an email with an activation link so that they confirm they are ready to publish.

Anyone with an idea this is the closest i got http://www.webscaped.com/articles/2008/08/basic-publishing-workflow-with-drupal-6/
