Issue Summary
HI - not sure if this use case is already handled by MailHandler together with Mail2Web.
Our goal is to have OG members be able to create a post by email, and for the particular OG that it gets posted in to be based on the email address they send it to.
In other words the users can behave as if they are using a 'mailing list' and we pull their emails through to create the post. The post then gets sent out via Notifications and the recipients can in turn email comments bck in to the system (using web2mail I am assuming) - so the thread is initiated and continues within the OG without requiring users to login in to site.
Is this what MailHandler is already capable of doing?
Appreciate advice from anyone who has 'been there' 'done that'. Many thanks

I haven't been there yet, but my guess is that you can use hook_mailhandler, where $mailbox is passed as well.
Use this parameter to switch your OGs and assign your node to one of them.

I guess that using a mailbox for each group is enough, as long as there are commands to guaranty that the post in linked to the group. Let's move this to the issue at #26941: Associate submitted e-mail to an organic group (Organic groups integration)..
