Sure--

I actually have 4 listservs that I setup to document traffic. For each I setup a separate forum and a separate receiving email address, such that the listservs sent mail to these dummy accounts. Then I set Mailarc to extract mail twice a day (it uses a command line cron job) and it converts the email to posts in the designated forum. It was pretty easy to setup. Now, forum posts do *not* go back out to the listserv, but I'm sure that could be made to do so, if you wish. Prpbably a GT custom plugin.

I did complicate things though. The plugin works such that it builds a new disabled user for each new receiving email address....making the incoming email address the username. I mod'ed the plugin such that it searches the User table and if it finds the email address in the table is makes the post by the user..not a new user with the email address. In addition, I assign all not found email addresses to a generic 'Listserv' user I created.....I didn't want GForum to keep adding all these disabled users to my User table.

So that's it!

You obviously don't need to use only for a Listserv. You could pas out the designation email, telling folks to post via email, and letting them read from the forum or receive subscriptions to see additions from others. Not a very good use of a forum, but it would work.

I hope this helps.
