Not quite sure what the problem with phpBB is to Cristian, but you *can* have 
a forum where you integrate with a mailing list.

Though I only have a one-way direction, I use M2F and phpBB quite successfully 
on my FileNet-related forum.  

http://www.filesite.org/viewforum.php?f=21

That particular sub-forum holds emails submitted to the FileNet mailing lists. 
I could integrate it easily with two-way communication, but I choose not to 
simply because the FileNet lists are owned by IBM and are subscription only.

Regardless, it is very easy to integrate a forum with a mailing list. 

Hmm....

Hey, at least it isn't the moshpit that is comp.os.linux.suse or 
comp.os.linux.advocacy.  :P
