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
  3. Then, in the group's settings:
    Non-member messages are moderated
    Settings → Moderation → Moderate messages → Moderate messages from non-members of the group.
    Don't force using Google Accounts
    Settings → Identity → Required forms of identity → Display names only
    Change where replies are sent
    Setting → 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
    Setting → Email options → Subject prefix → [groupname]
    Website pointer
    Setting → Email options → Email footer → Add custom footer text →
    "Website: http://www.sagamorehillspta.org/groupname"
