The best I have seen for this is yahoogroups. I am currently working on 
something to do this but am still in the early development stages. I was 
looking at using perl to parse the email and insert it into the database 
which has a PHP front end that allows posts. If I was much of a perl 
programmer, I would probably have it working by now but alas I have to 
learn perl first.
