To add to what Drew says,
The Forum software also provides a cloaked e-mail interface on the profile pages of members.
That is, there is a link to create an e-mail and the forum sends it to the registered e-mail
address.

There is the need for the phpBB system to have access to an SMTP server
and a single administrative email account. I can give details about that
on the intra ML if needed, but it's fairly plane jane stuff.
Otherwise when folks register they supply a real email address and the
forum software needs to notify them of an action, for example when a
response comes to a topic they opened, this real email is used.
