Hi Gary,
In Yahoo Groups, go to INVITE, then click on ADD MEMBERS at the bottom. There you'd enter their real name and e-mail address.
When we did that, they needed to reply to confirm they wanted to be added to the group. Half our members have failed to reply twice.
Your member could opt out to NOT receive mail, but I found that setting up memberships to receive only SPECIAL NOTICES stops this problem. Make sure you follow up with a phone call to let members know that the Yahoo email is a good thing, right?
We may have to phone them when we send the invitation and talk them through the confirmation. Also, moderating the list to stop unnecessary posts to members keeps people from complaining about too much e-mail clogging their mailboxes.
This hasn't been a problem. We have a real good group and no one has abused it. Of course, if they do we will take action. Hi Eugene, We have a Yahoo!Group for our MacPower-MUG group in Pennsylvania. It has a couple draw backs. Members have to elect to join the group. Membership is voluntary. Ours is private so that only members can visit it. But when we have a discussion, email only goes out to those that agreed to join and that is half our membership right now. We can use it to post our Bylaws, Officers, and other club business.
Cheers, Steve Henning, Membership
MacPower-MUG
