I've got an issue that has me completely stumped.... Using phpBB with mail2forums and Mailman. The phpBB end of things appears to be working fine, with one accept ion.
When an email is made to the list, it goes through a registered user and gets posted to the forums just fine. But then it appears that the phpBB/mail2forum detects the "new" post, and sends that back to the list.
So anyone using posts to the list via email show up in email twice and once on the forums. Posts made directly to the forums show up once in the forums, once in email.

I have never used phpBB, however, I was curious, so looked at the docs.
http://mail2forum.com/wiki/Configuration says:
To make M2F work with an external mailing list server, do two things:
1. Create a bogus user in phpBB with the external mailing list address. This address is the same that the one you provided in the mailing list configuration page. Subscribe it to the M2F mailing list associated with the desired forum. 2. Subscribe the M2F email address to the external mailing list server. This email address is the same that the one you provided in the distribution list configuration page. 3. Uncheck Resend incoming emails to mailing list on the distributionlist configuration page.
I guess that you did not do the third of those two things.
