This is what I want to do as well. It's a PITA to check hundreds of emails from all these groups to see what they are doing. It would be so much easier to see them right inside my forum. Plus, then my site staff can see them as well.

From best I've gathered, this plugin works by comparing the sender's email with a user on the forum. If the user matches, it posts. If it doesn't, it doesn't post. So one way to get a yahoo group or google group mirroring is to create a user account for each of the users on the group, right? This way, the plugin will find the appropriate user and post under their name. Is this assumption correct?

My thoughts on how to get a email list posting is to forward the originally received email, which has the original sender's email addresss (not a forum user by default), to an account which is a valid forum user, a "bot" for all practical means, which then forwards it to the forum email. Because the "bot" is a valid user on the forum, the plugin will check the originating email and find it to be a valid user, but the content of the email will actually be from the email list. Does this make sense? Would this work?
