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. …

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.
