http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/wp-mail.php is the handler in Wordpress; it's quite well documented, in-line, even if you don't understand PHP. If you know how/where your forum sorts stuff, that might be a starting point. It doesn't need root; although the script is typically hit by cron. > Those three items make things a bit difficult. :-( > > >I can't really think of a way to maintain an up-to date email thread > >in a forum, allowing posting to both; although, an afterthought may be > > Well, it has been done a number of times.

I really should find some time to build that. Reading the first bit of that thread (my eyes! my eyes!), that modification appears to be something that polls a mailbox for new stuff and processes it as it arrives, and pushes stuff from the forum back to mail. The "setup a separate email address to use for each forum that you have this enabled for" line makes me think that. > >to use NNTP for both... but that's quite perverse. > > I would prefer to/from NNTP.

Based on the above (the plugin), IMAP(S) might also work. -- ``In Lent she ate onion soup and gave up drink; but otherwise she must have drunk the maximum compatible with survival and sanity.''
