1) Do I need to get a mailing list email address outside, or FUDforum can create one?

2) If I have to get an outside mailing list, then which is best way to do it?

FUDforum needs to have the message 'injected' into it via the maillist script, there are examples in the documentation. The recommended way is to do it via procmail, which is a utility that will pipe certain incomming message (for example all messages going to my_mailing_list(at)yahoo(dot)com to FUDforum).

3) I thought of replacing my Yahoo!Groups with FUDForum, if I have to create an outside Mailing list address, then don't you think the contains will exist in two places (one in my mailing list and one in my FUDForum)?

Not sure I understand the question, please clarify.

4) Lastly, is there anywhere I can get a detailed explanation about how to integrate FUDForum with Mailing Lists.

Hmm it is a fairly simple process... with the most difficult part being setting up the mail redirect rule. If you use procmail you can find numerous sites on Google that will tell you how to use it.
