Forward address on external domain

iraway
I am moving a mailing list from an old domain and would like for members to be able to post to the new Nabble forum using the old domain. For example, if we have a list at

rpg@example.com

And a user who is registered on the Nabble forum sends an email to this address, I would like to be able to setup a forward so that their post goes up on the new Nabble forum. Is this possible? The only Post by Email method that I can find says it generates a separate email address for each user - basically what I want is a shared one that any registered user can post to (via the forward).

Is this possible?

Where this old list is hosted? Google groups?

It's a Google Business account mailing list - the sort that only the domain admin can edit. They have Google Groups proper turned off on our domain, sadly.

I can archive the messages from this group. In this way everything that is posted in the mailing list goes to your forum. What do you think?

Hmm I don't know if I follow completely but that doesn't quite sound like what I'd like.

I want to have our Nabble mailing list / forum continue to work as it currently does, but would like to be able to forward messages sent to another address outside of the Nabble system into our Nabble forum.

Right now our old list is just an internal mailing list, but I can set it up to send to any address - such as a generic posting address for the Nabble forum (if one existed). I'd like to have the email messages sent here to show up on our Nabble forum, posted under whoever sent the original message.

For instance,

1. jdoe@example.com sends a message to old-list@example.com.
2. The mail server at example.com forwards this message to ml-node+somethingsomething@n6.nabble.com.
3. Nabble sees the original sender is jdoe@example.com, and that he is registered on our Nabble forum/mailing list, so it posts the message under his name as if he had sent it to his own ml-node+#####@n6.nabble.com address.

Is there any way to get this to work?

Take a look on it: http://oracle-application-technology.2321614.n4.nabble.com/ . This forum is an archive for the mailing list orappstech@googlegroups.com,  messages posted here will be sent to this mailing list and vice-versa. I guess this is exactly what you want, right?

Pretty close... are messages sent to orappstech@googlegroups.com posted to that Nabble group as well? That part is somewhat unclear to me. If so then I think that's what we want, as long as people can still use the Nabble forum web interface to post and subscribe directly through Nabble.

Found this note which seems to talk about exactly what I want to do: http://n6.nabble.com/help/Answer.jtp?id=46

I think all I need to know is how I can find my Nabble forum's lists+xxxx@nabble.com address. Where is this located?

Options -> Application -> Mailing List Archive Settings. After you fill up this form you gonna see the lists+xxxx@nabble.com address.
