Someone just filled out my congregation's online visitor form and gave their email address as [initials]@groups.io
Is that an email address a person could have? Or would using it end up sending our church email to a groups.io group?

For a real email account, no, unless they owned/have access to the Groups.io domain and its mail server. But practically, anyone could start a new group for just themselves and give out that address, and the emails will end up being posted to the group archives, provided that group was setup to accept non-member posts, otherwise they would be rejected.

Have you tried going to that group address to see what info is shown on its home is provided? If you're online and logged in, you can click on Find or Create a group link on the blue bar uptop and search for the [initials] part of the address they used, but they may have it as not-listed in the directory so better yet, substitute it in here, /g/[initials] then copy and paste that into your browser.

If it errors out then that was a bogus email address, no clue why they gave that address specifically, could had been anything for that matter if the intent was to give a fake address.

If that group exists, what does it show? How many members, what are the Group Settings, etc.

Cheers,
Christos
