Has anyone used a Pi as a list server or bulletin board?

Bulletin board is easier as you just have to make a port available for 
incoming connections.

List server is a little more complicated as you presumably need to have a 
mail domain hosted on your Pi (although presumably you could fetch mail 
from an ISP server if the list server supported this?).

Anyway, looking for an easy way to provide a group of people a simple 
method to discuss stuff.

I prefer a bulletin board because this shows history instead of just 
distributing the current discussion.

Although I am obviously well out of date on these things.

Cheers

It's just a Linux box. Google for doing this on any Linux box and there
is a good chance it'll "just work" on the Pi.

This is a possibility, though from the comments and documentation
configuring it seems non-trivial.
