I watched a video pertaining to Rules and thought I would be able to use it to send an email to a certain User when a specific forum receives a post. Action/Triggers doesn't provide this (as far as I can tell). So I have the Rules module installed, however, it doesn't look like this is an option. It looks like admin would get an email if ANY comment is posted, but that's not what I'm after. First of all, am I right that Forum posts are considered "comments?" And then, is it possible to have a specified User receive an email alert when his forum receives a post? I have different forums which will in the future be managed by different people. I would like each person to be able to receive an email alert when someone posts to their forum. Is this possible with Rules?
Thank you in advance.

Here's one solution (sends
Here's one solution (sends email to the user marked as author of the node):
ON event After saving a new comment
NOT Comment is posted by content author (User account 1 = commented content author, User account 2 = acting user)
DO Send a mail to a user (Recipient = commented content author)
In your case I would add a condition to only do this on forum node types.
