Then you're probably better off with a searchable mailing list or a wiki (depending on what you're really trying to do with the setup) than a forum. An email address, which is typically a public piece of information, is not good to use as the sole means of identifying a user. In the case of the editing idea suggested in the first post, anyone who knows the person's email address could edit his/her posts. In your case, there's no good way to track who actually posted a comment, which leaves the system open for abuse by malicious employees. IMO, you would be better off having everyone register (or automatically generating accounts for them using their email addresses) then relying on an email address as a form of security.
But if you want to use PunBB that way, you certainly can. Just tell all your users that their names as guests should be their email address (or mandate the email field and let them fill in whatever they want for name). Set up the forum to allow guest posting, and tada!
