Not to play one-up here, but there's an alternative that I have to mention.

You could get and install the Andrew Message System, free on the X.V11R4
tape in the Andrew contributed ``toolkit'', and you can build shareable
mail folders that everybody in a group can read and reply to with any of
the AMS user-agent programs.

Arriving mail is filed in group-handleable folders; you get to choose
whether to make a daemon do this for you or to have some set of readers
do it.  For public bboards, make the group that can read the folder be
the general public.

Maybe other folder-oriented systems do this too, but it's a thought.
