connecting communities

Welcome to mail2forum.com, the home of m2f.

What is m2f?

m2f, formally mail2forum, is a PHP application which links internet-based communities. 

The current release works as a bridge between email mailing lists and phpBB 2 forums.

Version 2 is currently in development, and will allow communication between an infinite number of sources, from bulletin boards like phpBB, vBulletin, SMF and IPB to RSS syndication, NNTP, Content Management Systems, mailing lists and more.
