I believe I have it working. In short:

- “Email in” is enabled.
- Anonymous users are allowed to send email to “Category X”.
- An incoming email to “Category X” becomes a new topic.

This seems to work. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. It seems like a more-focused document about this would be helpful. I might write that.
