If you're hosting the board on a dedicated server, there shurely is Procmail and Crond.

But only a minority of users have this setup.
As I said most users have a simple Webhosting solution with Webspace, PHP, MySQL and - if it is one of the better ISPs - the possibility to access the account interactively via SSH and run a few cron jobs once a day.

I've had to deal with a large number of people who are virtual hosting. Many who do not have SSH/Telnet accounts have control panels that do offer access to crontab. I've done a check and nearly every <$10/month account had web crontab control panel. Many $15-$20/month accounts has SSH/Telnet access, so as I've been saying before if your ISP does not have those features consider switching, you are not getting a good deal for your money.

Procmail is not a deamon, it requires nothing of that sort. It is executed by the system mail delivery mechanism such as qmail or sendmail. It parses incomming messages for certain strings and if message patches, it pipes it to a php script. Nothing complex, no need for anything special, heck you can set it up by just uploading 2 config files via your trusty FTP client.

You have to take this into account if you aim your software at a wide range of people.

Sure, however if you want advanced features, you will need certain basic tools. I mean consider, people without PHP in their accounts won't be able to use the forum at all.
