 Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

  My search on "mailman" offered nothing. Weeks of web search has not found it. Mailman and SMF are both cpanel fantastico, ... 
 
   I am looking for a board to use as a mailman email discussion list web archive portal, that would also allow members who prefer a board, to post back to the list. 

   It looks like SMF with a mod, would do things the other way: persuade all my 600 + members to join a board that they can interact with via responding to email notifications, but I'd rather not ask my not-tech-savvy membership to do that.

   I'm not very tech savvy either... please give me a clue? Thanks.     

(I am also thinking of switching the whole site over to a cms, tikiwiki and e107 are the top contenders at the moment so I am glad there is a bridge. )

Its a very difficult bridge to make.  There is an effort by someone doing it with phpBB (Mail2Forum on Sourceforge.net).  Its a gallant effort, but it is still something that takes a lot of attention to keep up and running (at least, when I last checked into it!)

The easiest solution is to use a private Google Group, that has integration with Mailman as one of the last settings when you are setting it up.  It works very well, and gives you a better archive than the default Mailman archive.
