Account -> Login setting page -> Advanced settings
This is exactly the setting I needed (sorry for bumping an old thread, but it seemed to be the most recent on this topic) for the same problem, different symptoms: because I have two groups.io accounts for my group, I wasn't seeing rejections. Instead every email was being posted as if sent from my gmail account, even if I had used gmail to "send mail as" my personal domain email address.
I had hoped setting this alias for the account using my personal domain would fix the problem, but when I try to add my gmail address as an alias, I get an error message that the address is already registered, so I can't add it.
Is there any way around this restriction? There may be circumstances in which someone uses both their gmail address and one that goes through that gmail account.
I would think that I could get around this by deleting the gmail address' Groups.io account, only keeping the personal domain one, and then presumably I can set gmail as an alias. But,?I'm new to groups.io, and don't yet know if accounts can be truly deleted (releasing the email address for "clean" reuse again) and even if so, how long a system purge takes.
But my question still stands: for gmail addresses especially, where people might have valid reasons for creating a groups.io account with their gmail address (maybe pre-dating a personal domain?), and also having a different groups.io account with a different address that relies on that same gmail address for mail delivery, is this restriction necessary, and can anything be done to get around this?
Thanks for any help,
Sarah.
