Email notification without a subscription


 

There is a group. The name of the new user is X.
User X did not join the group. Gruba sent a message by mail. Are the replies of the message notified by email? Do they have to join the group to get answers? Is there anything about that in the setups?


 

I have my groups set to accept emails from non-members (but with moderation). If I approve the message and there are replies from members, that non-member doesn't see the responses. You would have to forward to the non-member. I find that works. It doesn't happen very often though.

In addition to Frances' answer, the non-member would be able to read any replies online, assuming the message archives are public.

You can allow non-subscribers to post in Admin->Settings->Message Policies.
Message archive visibility: Admin->Settings->Privacy->Visibility.

I can't imagine a scenario where it would be appropriate for a group owner would allow non-members to post while hiding the message archive from them, but maybe I don't have a very good imagination. :-)

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

I can't imagine a scenario where it would be appropriate for a group owner would allow non-members to post while hiding the message archive from them, but maybe I don't have a very good imagination. :-)
I have a couple of groups that are for committees only. Non-committee members sometimes want to say something to the committee members. However, I don¡¯t want the non-members to see the message archive and all the other posts. This works! I just approve the message and then forward anything appropriate to the non-member.
