Okay,
so i am setting up some mailing lists <-> forum integration.
here is what i have

XXX-admins(at)blah(dot)com
XXX-admins-discuss(at)blah(dot)com

the first list is meant for announcements and other significant posts.
the discuss list is meant for general discussions and responses to the posts in the first list.

If an email is sent to xxx-admins(at)blah(dot)com, replys to this email go tto xxx-admins-discuss(at)blah(dot)com.

If possible i would like to combine these lists into one forum. i know that is says on the mailing list manager page,

Forum:
Messages imported from the mailing list will be imported into this forum. It is **highly recommeded** that you setup a seperate forum for each mailing list.

my thought was to set up the mailing list xxx-admins-discuss(at)blah(dot)com and tie it to a forum caled xxx-admins.
so i would have the procmail rule like

* ^TO_.*xxx-admins-discuss(at)blah(dot)com
|/xxx/maillist.php 3

if i added another rule like

* ^TO_.*xxx-admins(at)blah(dot)com
|/xxx/maillist.php 3

then both emails to xxx-admins-discuss(at)blah(dot)com and xxx-admins(at)blah(dot)com would go to the forum xxx-admins.
does this logic seem feasable. if it can't be done i can just set up each list to a seperate forum.

thanks,
chris poetzel

The code flow you propose is perfectly feasible, if you wanted you could import data from 100 lists into a single forum. It's just that most people prefer to have 1 forum per mailing list, so their content is clearly identifiable.
