I want to know if it is possible to setup drupal in a way that each time a new topic is created in a forum a mail is sent to a list of persons.
That will prevent the fact we have to periodically scan for new posts in the forum.
Thanks for hints !

subscriptions module ?
subscriptions module ?
Yes
Tnat's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot !
One more question
I've tried the subscriptions module but it seems that we can only received notification from thread we've subscribed to. What I want is to receive a mail each time any topic or reply is added to a given forum. Is there a way to do that with the subscriptions module or with another module ?
I'd assume there is a way.
I'd assume there is a way. If a search of the forum doesnt provide any fruit, you may want to ask using the dev directly.
keep in mind, that auto mailing on every post and every thread can be viewed as spamming on tight hosts, at the very least, make them raise an eyebrow. The busier the site is the more it will be emailing out emails. with a large user base this emailing becomes exponentially higher.
that being said, you may want to limit what roles get emails this way.
