E-Mail identity for individual groups (alias's)

Scott Myers All Messages By This Member #12857 开云体育 I've recently been asked how to assign an alias e-mail to a group, so I looked it up on the wiki, which a link to supposedly how to do it is below. /g/95033talk/wiki/How-Do-I-Change-The-Email-Address-I-Have-Associated-With-The-Group%3F ? However, when I try doing it as described, it is not even close to working.? There is no "profile" selection option on the pull down on the upper right at all, just account and logout. ? I did figure out that it would appear you need to go into "Account" on the drop down menu on the upper right and then to "identity" on the left menu column.? Then it would appear you can edit information for each particular group from within the identity area.? However, I see no way to add a separate "alias" e-mail for any of your groups. ? So, does anyone know how you actually can add an alias e-mail to a group?? Or does this not work at all yet? ? Scotty
Toby Kraft All Messages By This Member #12858 Scott, Not sure what you're asking.? The article you reference has to do with adding an alias for a subscriber/member to be able to send?from an email address other than the primary email address for their account.? This has nothing to do with the email address of the group itself (<groupname>@groups.io, for instance). There is no way that I know of to have an alternate or alias for addressing email to the group.? What would an alias be needed for? Thanks, Toby
Mark Emmer All Messages By This Member #12859 开云体育 Scotty, You appear to be correct.? The Wiki info is rubbish in this case.? This is how to do it: 1. Select "Account" from the top right after logging in. 2. Select "Login" from the column on the left. 3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "Advanced Settings For Email Aliases" and click the right arrow at the far right of that line. 4. Enter the e-mail alias in the space below the text, then click the blue "Add Email Alias" button right below it.

However, when I try doing it as described, it is not even close to working.? etc... To change the email address associated with an account, click on the pull-down menu at the top-right of any page and select Account. On the resulting page, there will be an Account box at the top with your email address pre-populated. Overtype this with your new email address and click the Change Email button. If you want to establish an alternate email address to post from, scroll further down to the Advanced Settings for Email Aliases and click open that menu. Enter the alternate email address in the box and click on Add Email Alias.? Note that: These changes apply across all of the groups that you are subscribed to with that account. All group emails will be?received at your primary address. If you want to receive group emails at different addresses you must set up separate accounts. The latter is necessary to properly confirm that each email address is capable of receiving messages and to properly keep track of message delivery behavior (mainly, whether the account is bouncing). Your most reliable source of useful information on groups.io is either here in GMF or in the groups.io system help. I am not familiar with the 95033talk group. Hope this helps, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help

What would an alias be needed for? Toby (and Scott): If you look at?/static/pricing, it is possible to set up group aliases, if you have a Premium or Enterprise group. These establish a symbolic link on the server to forward someone to the actual group. They also have the benefit of holding an alternative group name so someone else doesn't take it. Once you pay for the upgrade, an Aliases tab will show up under the Admin menu. For my group ias-indy, I have set up aliases of "ias" and "indianaastronomicalsociety." If I post a message to [email protected],?it shows up in my ias-indy group. Similarly, if someone browses to /g/ias?, they are redirected to our home page. Like you, I'm not entirely sure that this is what Scott was asking about, but it's a real groups.io feature. Regards, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help
