Does emailing "<groupname>+owner@<groupname>.groups.io" work?

 

While going?through some various admin duties on the group that I own, I ran across a Members setting - "Owners Email" - that directs how that member should receive emails sent to "<groupname>+owner@<groupname>.". "<groupname>" is replaced with the actual name of the group I own, and am testing out. The selections are "All emails", Members emails", and "None". So I set out to test it.

First, I set myself to "All emails". Then I sent an email to that <groupname>+owners email address from a separate account, with a different email service than the one I use for Groups.io, but nothing came to me from Groups.io.

Am I missing something? Or is this a feature that doesn't work?

Thanks.

Check in Admin, Activity.
And in your subscription, did you tick All Email in Owner Email. And save it?

Thanks for the reply, Frances. It looks like my first test email was delayed. I saw it in Activity, but it didn't arrive until after I sent the email to this?GMF group. A second test, about 10 minutes ago, arrived immediately. So who knows?

One thing I did notice - After your email I took a second look at the User Manual and saw something I didn't notice earlier. The owners email address listed there is <groupname>+[email protected], without the "<groupname>" after the '@'. Both addresses work and each email I received had the "From" address as the full <groupname+owner@<groupname>,.

Anyway, thanks again.

They're a bit different if you have subgroups (groupname before and after @) or not (groupname only before @).

Lots of detailed information can be found in the Owners Manual and Members Manual.
