This stems from the origin of Google Groups as the OP mentioned. It’s definitely not ideal but we are actively working on making groups more suitable for the various enterprise/business scenarios they are being used for.
(I’m a PM @ Google working on some of these efforts)
- tracker1 8y agoI'd be happy if I could just setup an email distro list in google domains, or in the G Suite admin, instead of having to setup groups... I swear it took me half an hour to figure out why my dev@ list wasn't getting email from outside the domain.
- jmathai 8y agoSounds like the issue might have been confusion with the UI. groups.google.com has a lot of settings and it can be really confusing to know how to set up a group that functions in a particular way (i.e. receive email from outside the domain). G Suite admin has less settings but from what I've heard from customers it doesn't expose enough of them so they end up having to go to groups.google.com anyway. I think some of the updates we're working on will help.
- tracker1 8y agoThat would be nice... I mean, no offense, but for my needs, I'd just assume not use groups at all, and just have the option for a distribution list.
