Creating a new group

There are actually 2 ways to create a group—we're going to do it through the Groups interface instead of the Admin panel.


  1. Create group (red button at top)
  2. Be sure of the following:
    Group email address
    @groups.sagamorehillspta.org
    Select a group type
    Email list
    View topics, Post, & Join the group
    Public

Then, in the group's settings:

Don't force using Google Accounts
Settings → Identity → Required forms of identity → Display names only
Don't allow posting from the web
Information → General information → disable Allow users to post to the group on the web
Allow controlling replies
Email options → Post replies → To the author of the message only
Necessitates reply'ing-to-all to include the group, but otherwise, can't reply to original sender (who might not be a subscriber)
Subject prefix
Subject prefix → [groupname]
