As someone who finds web forums tedious to use, I am excited by the mailing list/NNTP integration features of FUDforum. As I often have people who complain about mailing lists (can't please everyone), I have been looking for an open source solution to the forum vs mailing list problem for some time.

Anyway, because I'm planning on adding FUDforum to existing mailing lists, and I don't want to burden relatively non technical users with subscribing to the mailing list (and setting themselves to "nomail"), I would also appreciate the option of being able to set the From: address to the forum's subscription address for everyone (while keeping the "real name" field as the user's real name). While security is a concern, I won't be allowing anonymous posts to forums backed by mailing lists, and in some cases, the mailing lists are closed "member only" lists, so the forum posters would be similarly restricted.

I see that around half of my users will be like me and want to stick with email. The other half would be happier registering with the forum only and posting from there.

FUDforum with a mailing list behind it is preferable to the most commonly chosen alternative.... Yahoo Groups! Smile

I will be looking forward to this feature (or a hack to implement it myself).
