Set Up a Google Group Mail Alias in your UD Gmail account

The steps below will allow you to send from a Google Group email address while using your UD GMail account.

You must be a member of the Google Group that you want to send from. If you need a Google Group to send messages from, you can request one at the Google Groups service page.

  1. Change settings in the Google Group to allow “anyone on the web” to post to the group. 

This step will allow a confirmation of ownership email from Google to be received by the member or owner setting up an alias. In other words, Google needs to confirm that you have permission to send as the Google Group. To configure posting in the Google Group follow the directions below.

You must be an owner or manager of the Google Group you're using to complete these steps. If you are not an owner or manager, request that the Google Group owner or manager complete step one for you. If you need help finding out who can manage your Google Group, contact the IT Support Center. After you have completed step three, the posting permissions can be set to their previous settings.
