email to post?

Is it possible to create a new forum post in a specific topic via email?

Thanks!

Not natively...

The only forum software I know of that does this is Elkarte.

I see the appeal of it, but I can also see a bit of the danger to it. Because let's say that email account gets hacked, then the hacker can post whatever to the forum without any authentication. In addition, all the methods that I can think of that would probably help prevent this would pretty much defeat the purpose of it.

What does this even mean ?
