Greetings;
I have installed and briefly worked with drupal but I don't exactly see how to set it up for what I want to do.
My wife is in business and the amount of spam she gets on any regular email account makes it almost impossible to use it as a practical means of communicating with her clients.
What I want to do is set up drupal so it is a tightly locked down forum and info site that she can use as a means of communication with her clients.
My question: Is there a doc that details the steps I need to do to make drupal work this way?
Any hints, tips, pointers will be greatly appreciated!
Many TIA! Dennis

The main things you'd be looking to do are activate forum.module and taxonomy.module. Taxonomy.module provides categories for content and can be used to create different categories or subforums in your wife's website. See Drupal's forums for what I am talking about.
Next, you will need to change the user permissions. Require that users be registered to see and post to the forums. Next, require that the site administrator (you or your wife) review and approve each user sign up.
Hoepfully this will get you on your way.
