Can you please please tell me what do I do? Which file or settings of Mailman or FUDforum do I have change or what do I have to add in which file for piping it to fudforum?

I have a working Mailman & FUDForum setup up and running. From memory here's what you need to do. This does assume that both your Mailman mailing list and FUDForum board ane installed and running correctly (albeit independently at the moment!)
In your FF Admin Control Panel select 'Mailing List Manager' (under 'Forum Management')
Enter the email address of your mailing list and select the forum you want messages to appear in. So for example if your mailing list is called Test and its address is <test(at)domain(dot)tld> you might want messages to appear in the Test forum on your board.
Click the "Update Mailing List Rule" - you may find you are returned to a blank form so go to the bottom of the form to see your rule which will be something like
test(at)domain(dot)tld TestForum /usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/domain.tld/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php 1
Now in your Mailman list admin page create a new member. I created the member FUDForum-Test(at)domain(dot)tld and have this email address receive imdividual messages but _important_ NOT to receive monthy password reminders from Mailman.
Now in your mailserver you (depending on your exact setup) need the following.
In virtusertable
fudforum-test(at)domain(dot)tld fudforum-test
and in aliases
FUDForum-test: "|/usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/domain.tld/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php 1"
So now you should have a setup where when a message is sent to your Mailman list the 'subscriber' fudforum-test(at)domain(dot)tld routes posts to the FUDForum maillist.php import script and the post appears on the forum.
When messages are posted to the forum FUDForum will mail them to your Mailman list address. NOTE: you will need to ensure forum users are members of your Mailman list if you have 'member only' posting enabled for your list.
I hpe that's clear. Of course you may have a different mailserver... For example I am using Exim. If you have Sendmail it is possible to pipe to two destinations so you can have
test: "|/home/mailman/mail/mailman post test" "|/usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/domain.tld/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php 1"
in your alias table

(1) In Mailman, if they choose a daily digest option, will those who subscribe for a daily digest receive all the forum posts in one email as a daily digest? If yes, then can they reply to individual forum threads through this daily digest email? Or do they necessarily need to be subscribe to individual messages to reply back which will get posted on the forum?

Digest subscribers just need to change the subject line and reply. That email will be sent to all the Mailman list subscribers, posted to the forum and added to the digest in the usual way.
Hope that helps!
