Hi Allen,

FUDForum ( http://fudforum.org/features.php ) has NNTP & Mailing List integration. It's written by Ilia A, one of the PHP Core developers, and has all the features you'd expect from a forum.

Regards,
Khalid

I'm looking for something similar to the lists/forums at mysql.com, in which forum messages are copied to the list, and list messages are copied to the forums. Anyone here know how they do that, or have clues on how it could be done?

I'm helping out with a small community site currently running Joomla with Simple Machines Forum. Almost all the site usage is in the forums, but since it's a small community traffic is rather low (about 150 posts/month). There's been a suggestion that since some people prefer forums over email lists, and vice verse, we might be able to improve the conversation by allowing people to choose either format and still be kept in the mix.

An alternative solution would be a Joomla or SMF plugin that would allow people to subscribe to the whole forum and get all posts by email. Even if they had to sign onto the forums to respond, they would at least be kept informed of the discussion just by checking email.

Anyone have some leads on such a scheme? (Googling for keywords like forum and list has turned up nothing useful.)

Thanks,
Allen
