What's the easiest way to make an inbound email address for a forum/subforum?

The only option I see thus far is to create my own email list server and then use http://n2.nabble.com/more/MailingListRequest.jtp .  While I have managed a listservs (Mailman) previously, I'd like to avoid doing this if the only thing I want is an inbound email address ( [e-mail] ) to map to my Nabble forums.

I essentially want to do this: http://n2.nabble.com/help/Answer.jtp?id=46 ...without having an existing email list in the first place.  I'll provide the DNS, MX domain, and mailbox (which would presumably be a simple, direct forward from [e-mail] to [e-mail] ...or something like that) to handle the custom email address.  I just don't want to have a fire up a full-fledged email list server every time I want an email address for a new forum/subforum.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help,
