Re: Gmail apps alias unable to send
|
Hello Shal,
I most certainly subscribed to the list as " littlejack@...", but when I try to mail the list from that address, gmail? send the mail with a From as "mbergen is sending as littlejack". Only if my mbergen@ email address is added to the list may I post to it, even as littlejack@.?
I'm subscribed to this group as mbergen as that's what I intend to use for another group I'm planning? to bring to once I have a more complete understanding of it.?
Thanks for the tip about an alias on the group login page. Let me try that.
Thanks!

I'm a little confused by your description. You ought to be able to post from the email address which is subscribed to the group.

That shouldn't matter, I think, if Gmail is putting your burning man name in as the From that's what should match your group subscription and allow you to post.

And that's where I get confused. If you joined under your burning man name Groups.io shouldn't accept mbergen. Well, part of the answer may be the fact that you're posting in this group with that name. Are you sure you didn't join the little group with the mbergan address and not the burning man name?
Anyway, here's how it works:
When you join a Groups.io group you subscribe with a particular email address, and that is the address where group messages are sent. You can also post from that address (subject to the rules of the group, of course).
You can have a second address to post from by entering it as an Email Alias. That's found on the Login page of your Groups.io account. But this alias address is "post only" - group messages are never sent there.
A second option, if you wish to receive group messages at both addresses, is to have a second account and second subscription under that second address.
