I can't believe it, I actually got it to work!!! Thanks for all your help!

Steps, for the interest of anyone else that might want to try an end-run around procmail:

Started with a single message in an "mbox" formatted textfile, on my hosted server
Made a php file on my web server with this content: <?php echo shell_exec("cat /home/myname/public_html/test/mbox1 | /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/myname/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php 1"); ?>
accessed the above php file using my browser
whammo, the contents of the mbox file was very nicely added to my forum!!!

I understand if you have procmail, and understand how to use procmail, that's a great way to go, but for the rest of us, there is definitely an alternative! Now, I still have to work out how to deal with mbox files with many messages, and how to get this script to execute as often as necessary, but I don't believe those will be big stumbling blocks. Again, thanks to protoss, (and also to Ga�tan for teaching me the shell_exec technique)! -Steve
