Create a forum and mailing list

A forum administrator can create discussion forums to which project members with the appropriate permissions can post messages. Discussion forums can also function as mailing lists.

If a mailing list is enabled, project members can interact with the forum by email in two ways:

Create a new forum topic by sending an email to the forum.
Reply to a forum post by replying to an email.

Click Discussions in the project navigation bar.
On the Forum Summary page, click Create.
On the Create Discussion Forum page, enter a title and description for the forum.
If you want the forum to also function as a mailing list, Enable Mailing List and enter a name for the mailing list in the blank Mailing List field.
Note: The mailing list name must be unique within a project.
Click Save.

The discussion forum is created. If you enabled a mailing list, all project members monitoring the forum will receive notifications whenever a new forum topic or forum message is posted.
