Hi! In my discourse instance I want to create a readon-only mailing list mirror (from google groups), but I’m having issues with making discourse subscribe the mailing list. In order to subscribe the mailing list I need to send an email to mailinglistname+subscribe@googlegroups.com and then reply t…

I was able to get this to work with a Google Group by adding the category’s incoming email address to the group’s members page. I’ve set the group up just for testing this, so I gave it the most relaxed possible permissions. The issue you are running into could be related to the group’s permissions. …

[이미지] deeplow: In order to subscribe the mailing list I need to send an email to mailinglistname+subscribe@googlegroups.com and then reply to the email to confirm. I don’t have a Google Group to test this out on. Is sending an email to the group the only option that you have for joining the g…

[이미지] simon: Is sending an email to the group the only option that you have for joining the group, or is it possible to join through the Google UI? Currently you can’t even signup via the web interface (before it was possible). But the problem is the confirmation, which has to be done either …

The other day what I did to manage to get one sent and receive the reply asking for the confirmation (which I couldn’t open) with a “hack” where I used the “advanced-test” tab to sen…

Quick note: in the above post sometimes the email is mailinglist@.... and others mailinglistname@.... They are all supposed to be the same.

Thanks a lot for looking into this. Then this must resolve the problem. I’ll try it! Since I’m not the one in control I must not have realized that it was possible to manually add new users without confirmation. Maybe a tip could be added to the instructions letting people know they can only subsc…

@simon this not only worked perfectly (the solution is to use the google groups interface to manually add a member as you suggested) but also gave me an idea on how to importing mailing lists but in a massively simpler way – using a mailinglist archive and remail everything to discourse.
