I use UBB as well at boards.onmilwaukee.com. It works nicely but does not integrate with a mailing list system. That is a great idea. Perhaps there is something out there that does it already. What you can do with UBB as a registered user is ask to be notified via email once someone replies to your message. This is a nice feature. I have always thought it would be nice to have an automatic monitoring feature which would notify you anytime a message matches a keyword you provide, much like you can set up agents on Monster.com to email you daily matches for job searches. It is a pain to be on a mailing list which is rather vague and only respond to 1% of the emails which fill your inbox. Having it filtered out from the source would be very helpful... like only getting mail about firewalls and nfs if that is where you feel you are able to assist people on the list. You could become a specialist. Brennan Stehling - web developer and sys admin projects: www.greasydaemon.com | www.onmilwaukee.com | www.sncalumni.com This signature is just here to take up space.
