Most forum software have "notification via email" feature. Which sends
an email to the subscribers of the topic whenever a new reply is
written. Subscribing to a topic is pretty easy. If you reply a topic
or open a topic yourself then you are automatically subscribed to that
thread/topic. And if you wanna subscribe manually it is as easy as
clicking a link.

But I don't know any forum software that allows sending messages via
email...

Would something like Jive Forums be out of the question?

It's not open source, but they do give free licenses to open source projects:

Also, it is a pure Java application, and so would need to run on top of something like Tomcat... Do we have a Java server available to us?
