My group operates entirely on email right now.? So deciding which email to advertise for the group;??there is only ever going to be one group here (except for my test list -?TEST@MYGROUP)
So ideally I want people to post to [email protected]?(parent address) because it is shorter and simpler.??

However, I see that [email protected]?(the subgroup address) is the real email for the group.??
Sending to either works fine.? ?If i send to the parent address, recipients see MAIN@ in the cc

Is there any other downside to using the parent address?

Thanks
Jenny

Jenny,

However, I see that [email protected] (the subgroup address) is
the real email for the group.

That's only true because your group has subgroups in addition to the primary (main).

By the way, you can change "main" to be something more appropriate to your primary group. For example, in my PTA group I made the primary group's name be "members" because it is open to all unit members. As distinct from "board", the subgroup open only to the unit's board members.

Is there any other downside to using the parent address?

I think that possible confusion is the only downside. If your group has its Reply To control set to "Group" then in every message the (main) members receive the group's subgroup-format address will be the reply address. And that's what will be on the (main) group's home page. So eventually everyone will likely end up using the subgroup-format address anyway.

Jenny,

One quirk to beware of is that (unless it's been changed) on deleting the last sub-group, the main (and now only) group [email protected] address is also deleted, leaving only the [email protected] address - which will be a problem for any people using or expecting the MAIN@~ address.
