The forum provides a generic maillist.php script that can import messages into the forum by getting a rule id passed to it and a message piped to it. How you fetch the messages is up to you, can be procmail can be pop3 (someone posted a script for this on the forum) or a million other ways of doing it.

I have done this and it works - Just not in my new configuration, but I'm working on it 
Setting up your mailing list via mailman is dead easy, what you need to do is to have some way of intercepting the email from mailman. I have access to procmail so I did it this way, the MTA sends the message via a procmail filter (to the forum) to the mailman list. when your php is set up correctly everything works . . . I just have something odd on my setup.
One thing I'm considering is using procmail to copy the email to a mailbox as well as forwarding it to the mailing list. I can then use a cron job and the maillist.php to put the emails into my forum. What is annoying is that I know that that would work, and yet trying to pipe the email direct from procmail does not. . . Go Figure?
Anyway I'm off to try and build a local copy of php bin!
