I have once written a IPB <-> Mailinglist connector

When new posts are made on the mailing list they get imported to a designated forum as new thread. And replies as replies.
And vice versa, new posts and replies are send to the mailing list.

Reason for this is that i have two groups of fans of a certain game. But one half likes the mailing list and the other half likes forums.

ofcourse some mailinglist members didnt have an account on the forum, and therefor i created a general forum account for that, so if the forums receives messages from the mailinglist from these users, the post WOULD have a user.

Since i just have swatched from IPB to vB ill have to rewrite this script. It seems quite some people are intested in such a thing.

edit: ow and about the spoofing problem.. the script only imported the emails from the mailinglist email address, all others are deleted right away.
So this was a 99.99% spoof/spam free solution
