I can't reference the email I just wrote, because it hasn't been moderated yet, so sorry if this confuses anything in the chain. :)

I guess if the emails appear to be coming from my Gmail address, how would groups.io know which account to post from? That must be the initial tech constraint to having a gmail alias that is also its own groups.io account. So, I guess this could only work if groups.io can parse the "send as" field somehow, as a further identification. And, I'm assuming it doesn't do that now, or why would this even be an issue in the first place? It could just read from that field to determine the sender and not need to know about the alias at all.

So, thinking about it more, it would seem like I can't continue to have 2 accounts, and be able to send email from the personal domain and have it show up as the personal domain, unless groups.io starts using a different header field entirely. (It's obviously not a problem for the two separate accounts to exist, because they currently already do. It's only when sending via email that the issue arises.)

If I had to choose just one account, I'd prefer the personal domain. But there's more chance of something going wrong if I delete the gmail account, since that's the one that I at least know I can email from (and, I don't yet know if/when deleting its group.io account frees it up to use as an alias, since clearly I'd need it for the personal one to function properly). And, because of this, I've already started using the gmail account more with my group.

So I no longer think I need an answer to the question about why the restriction is in place, but as I'm thinking through my various options, I wouldn't mind suggestions for what those more experienced with the platform would do in this position.? :)? It may turn out to be that I just use the gmail account exclusively.

Thanks, and sorry that I hadn't thought this far by the time I hit send on the first message.? :)?

(For extra context, as a group owner and the tech person for my organization, I often do make myself a couple of accounts so I can test under different conditions and vary settings/permissions and view things from various users' perspectives. I don't need to participate in the group as two separate entities. And, to be fair, gmail has sometimes caused issues with our current (soon to be former) Mailman list serv, so it was easier to have two accounts so that whatever gmail decided to do, I was a member and covered.)
