Hi,
Just a generic Snitz question in regards to email capability:
Is it possible to configure Snitz to automatically post a topic by receiving an email? Similar to Google Groups where any user can post text/attachment by emailing a specific address or including that address in a mailing list.
Thanks in advance!

This has been asked before, and some quality time with the search page should turn up the topic - and all the pros and cons of attempting this.
All things being equal, if you want something like Google Groups, why re-invent the wheel? Use Google Groups.  |

Thanks. I did spend some time searching, but came up empty. I'll try again now knowing it is out there.
Google groups is limited, especially in storage space (max 100MB). Hardly a solution when a lot of attachments will be involved.

| It's probably been archived since its been quite some time ago. If you check the "Archived Posts" checkbox on the search form it will search the archives. |

basically you will need to write your own POP mail client which can retreive emails from an email dropbox and process them into forum posts.

A forum is also not a solution in this case, what you need is some sort of document management system , the forum is not designed to manage lots of documents either, in fact out of the box it has NO facility to attach documents at all. |
