It is possible to run a combined web interface and email list using 
phpBB. It isn't done very often because many bulletin boards are 
advertising sponsored and the email interface won't show the adverts.

You can even link it with a Yahoo group to provide a much more pleasant 
web interface to the group. However this takes a bit of fiddling around 
to get it working correctly. I use it to run a support group for my CAM 
software.
