Deprecating subgroups and auto-responder


Jim Baker
 

Greetings and Happy New Year,?
I am deprecating some lists and I'd like to set up an auto-responder for all the subgroups to notify the sender that the list is deprecated and point to the new lists. Not seeing how to do this in the???Pointers please?
Kind regards,?
Jim?

On the Settings page for the subgroup, at the very bottom, select Lock Group (this assumes that it's a paid group because you can't lock a Basic group/subgroup.)? Create a Member Notice of type Locked Group containing the information you want to send.? Anyone attempting to email to the subgroup should receive that notice as an email.? There's no information shown if they access it online, but the reply button is gone.? You could post a pinned message or sticky wiki page on the subgroup to give them the info needed.? You could also change the Home page of the subgroup giving a pointer to the new subgroup.? Most (all?) of this would apply to a main group as well.? Hope this helps.
