I have searched vb.com and vb.org for the following, and can not find an answer:

I own an anti-scam / anti-spam forum called thescambaiter.com

I have set up some email email boxes (yahoo and gmail) to be the "catcher account" for all spams and nigerian scam emails.

What I would like to do, is have the spam / scam emails forwared into a new thread in a forum that I create called "Extra Spam and Scam emails".

Does anyone know of a hack for that?

Thanks in advance!

I assume you will need a cronjob on your server that is reading all email that was sent to a specific email address/username on the server (like /var/mail/[username]) and inserts them, one by one, into the forums database.
As you're talking about one single thread for this you will have to know the latest entry in there so you will need to ask the DB before adding the 'posting'. Also I think you'll need a username that 'posted' the message.

I don't have a lot of knowledge of hacking vB but that, I think, are the steps to do...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
