Hello again!
I've got a tool here that some people may find useful. I run a mailing list and a UBB, and I've written a script to turn one of my forums into a mailing list archive.
This is done by feeding all list e-mail into my script (all done by standard sendmail aliases: mailing-list-address: "|/home/you/www/cgi-bin/ubb_archive.cgi"). The script simply pulls out the important bits, and posts them to the forum.
I created a special user and forum, and made the user the moderator of the new forum. Then I set the forum so that only moderators can post or reply, to keep people from responding to automated posts. It seems to be working fairly well so far. If you want to check it out, my site is
http://Forums.Army.ca , and the forum is The Canadian Army Mailing List (hidden in last cat).
You can download the tool at

Note: It doesn't handle MIME encoded messages very well at the moment.
If you have any comments, suggestions or feedback, just let me know.
Cheers
