`smartlist' and `procmail' would be obvious choices for this type of
application.[1] I made a simple hack with it that will write a mail
sent through it into the `POP' bulletins directory. It showed me
that anything is possible with `procmail'.

I think email & web, with searching from both. The `smartlist'
searching and retrieval could stand improvement. It would be good to
improve the searching syntax a little; make it more natural to use.

Sounds good.

That's us.
Q: Has anyone else been goofing with the CL-HTTP server? It has
tremendous potential for applications of this sort. It's worth
looking into, I think. There already exist applications written for
it that perform this sort of duty. Please look into it with me.

... and there are other links off my page that may or may not be of
interest.
Footnotes:
[1] I think it would be neat to upgrade the regexp stuff in
`procmail' to utilize the new `pcre' library!
