It's called a newsgroup and Outlook Express works great for accessing them.

Subject: RE: Creating an automated Bulletin Board System HELP


THat is the direction I'd prefer to go.  However:

We are migrating from a mainframe mail system that has a Bulletin Board
feature.  They want me to duplicate the feature.

When you subscribe to their BB, you get any new messages to the BBs that you
subscribed to.

I'm trying to figure out how I can manipulate exchange and or outlook
(through forms) to interact with Active Directory.

I envision this:

A user opens a subscription form.  They choose the BB they want to subscribe
to and enter their username. The form adds that username to a distribution
list. That distribution list is set as the Forward recipient for that BB
(Public
Folder)

When someone posts to the BB, everyone in the Dist list gets a copy.

Sound OK?
