I'd like to "link" GNU Mailman email lists with vBulletin forums (on a one-to-one basis). Does vBulletin provide a means to do this?

More details here:

A followup post there advised me to ask about this at vbulletin.org, hence the double-post from .com to .org.

Thanks for the info.

Since I can't post to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=151222 yet (I'm still in pre-sales mode, and I assume I can't post to the aforementioned thread because I haven't bought a license), I ask here regarding said Add-on ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=151222 ):

I'd like to be able to link an email list with the forum. I would want brand-new subsribers to the email list, who have no connection/subscription/account/login with the forum to be able to (without their knowledge) convert the emails they send to the email list to posts in the forum. Same thing for new web-forum posters to the email list.

After reading the Add-on closely, I'm suspect that it can handle said scenarios well. Comments?

http://www.mail2forum.com can, but it (to my knowledge) only plays nicely with phpBB. And I'm considering creating my new forums in vbulletin instead.
