[ELECTRON] groupserver test

[Martin McGrath]

Thanks Simon,

This seems to cover the forum/mailing list requirements people have, I've
tested creating a post on the forum then replying via email, and creating a
new topic via email.

Am I correct in thinking you'd want to install this on the server which
currently hosts the EC site?
I'd prefer if this were the case, however this may impact the hosting of the
current EC site from a cost perspective, depending on popularity and what
exactly is covered under the current hosting.

I'll take a look at the installation and customisation at some point this
week. Some pen testing wouldn't go amiss either IMHO.

Thanks

Martin
