Hello,
Is anyone using Google Groups for their MUG? If so, is there a way to allow new users to join an email distribution list automatically, i.e. what we call "HelpDesk" which allows anyone signed up for the list to submit questions, see questions submitted, and respond? We had this set up before, but are trying to switch our list servers due to our last one, that hosted us and 27 other non-profits, being taken over by a spam-bot. So, we thought we would make things really complicated. Ah, I mean modernize our setup.
What we had and would like modern versions of;
1. Board member internal email distribution - DONE! This was easy since it's a handful of people and they can be entered by hand.
2. Newsletter email distribution list - Allows anyone to opt in and receive our monthly newsletter, but does not allow any but the board and newsletter editor to submit to that list - NOT DONE
3. HelpDesk email distribution list - Allows SFMUG members to opt in and receive AND post this list - NOT DONE.
Who can contribute to lists is fairly easy to setup, but the joining part is a mystery to me at this time, and I can't find any instruction from google help.
Any other innovative uses of Google Groups, or other resources would be interesting also.
ANY help and insight would be appreciated,
