according to features in
http://www.zope.org/Members/mjablonski/MailBoxer
it does have threaded view and also you can make it moderated or not
(so i think anonymous poster could fall into spam categories), but if
we just have a for make ing posts we can choose a formuser we want.

I will check this product out this week, lets see what we can do.
