How do I, or where do I find...

I am attempting to create a mail list (ala Yahoo groups) for a small organization. What I can not seem to find a clear description of is how to intercept an incoming message and then forward it to all the members of the org.

Easy enough to write a routine that will send a group email. The problem is, people want the convenience of simply sending out an email from their home email client to one address and to be assured that it will be delivered to everyone.

Is this clear as mud? Can any one direct me to a resource I can use to learn how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

So they send an email to an address you have and then it is redistributed to a set list.

What if you have a script that checks that email account and then parses the message and sends it. Maybe running on a cron?

Exactly! Kind of an auto responder, only it parses the body of the meail and then sends it on to a list of addresses.

I will take a look at your idea here. I may be back.

Thanks.
