Publishing to Moodle forum via email

In Moodle 4.0, can I publish a message to a course forum (a course that I teach) without logging into my Moodle account, that is, by sending an email to some pre-specified address associated with the forum?

You can reply to a forum post via email but the admin will need to set up the Moodle site to receive incoming emails

Then maybe create a pinned forum topic, subscribe your students to it, then reply via email

You can do it if the admin has the setup configured in mail configuration settings (Site administration -> Server -> Email.)
