Forum/Mailing List Integration (Like Yahoo! Groups)
HiltonT - November 11, 2007 - 22:32
Hi All,
I'm investigations options for a usergroup that currently uses a Yahoo! Group for its communication. I'd like to be able to set up a Drupal site that can replicate the Mailing List/Forum integration that Yahoo! Groups offers, without the multiple day delay on mail delivery that Yahoo! Groups also provides at times.
Is there a way to provide this functionality with Drupal?
There seems to be a lot of other appropriate modules that I'd like to also investigate, but this is a major requirement - the email/forum integration.

4.7 modules
There are a couple of modules for Drupal 4.7 that might be worth a look:
I haven't used either module and Drupal 4.7 will be out of date before too long, but they're the only ones I know of that do what you're looking for.
Hi Matt, Thanks for this
Hi Matt,
Thanks for this info. Unfortunately, I'll not be installing the soon-to-be-obsoleted version of Drupal for some strange reason. :)
So, aside from thise soon-to-be-obsoleted modules, there's nothing else around? That's a shame. Yahoo is really, really painful to deal with but this list/forum integration is really nice. I just wish something else out there that actually worked also provided this functionality.
It seems that there's a little work on getting Listhandler ported (well, patched really) over to Drupal 5.x, so that's a start.
As for Organic groups list manager, it looks like there's some progress towards Drupal 5.x as well, which may prove to be good.
Oh, well - looks like I'll keep an ear out a bit longer then continue my search elsewhere if I need to.

listhandler vs mailtoweb
Anyone have insight on listhandler vs mailtoweb? I searched around and have not found a comparison.
Thanks,
