<title>Fossil Forums</title>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
As of Fossil 2.7, Fossil includes a built-in discussion forum feature.
Any project complex enough to benefit from being managed by Fossil and
which has more than one user can probably also benefit from having a
discussion forum. Even if your project has a discussion forum already,
there are many benefits to using Fossil's built-in forum feature, some
of which you cannot get by using third-party alternatives:
* <b>Easy to administer:</b> Third-party discussion forum and mailing
* <b>Easy to Administer:</b> Third-party discussion forum and mailing
list software tends to be difficult to install, set up, and
administer. The Fossil forum feature aims to be as close to
zero-configuration as is practical.
* <b>Malefactor resistant:</b> Because Fossil accepts forum posts
* <b>Malefactor Resistant:</b> Because Fossil accepts forum posts
only via the web UI, it is inherently [./antibot.wiki | protected
against bots].
* <b>Distributed and Tamper-Proof:</b> Posts are stored in the Fossil
repository using the same [./fileformat.wiki | block chain technology]
that Fossil uses to store your check-ins, wiki documents, etc.
Posts sync to cloned repositories in a tamper-proof fashion.

choice of immediate or daily digest delivery.
* <b>Talks to Everyone:</b> Because Fossil delegates email handling
to your existing MTA, it does not need to implement the

to properly support SMTP email in this complex world we've built.
As well, this design choice means you do not need to do duplicate
configuration, such as to point Fossil at your server's TLS
certificate private key in order to support users behind mail
servers that require STARTTLS encryption.
