Webhook to forward posts to a mailinglist: best practice?

I have used a distribution group email address for a Discourse account.

So you create a new user on discourse, make sure it is watching the categories you want to forward to the mailing list and then you change the users email address to your mailing list address (e.g. mymailinglist@listserv.domain.com)?

Yes.

For domain email, we use Google Apps for Education here

I’m not sure I understand what you mean here? What do you need Gmail/Google Apps for?

Instead of Microsoft Exchange, postfix, exim, or qmail we use Gmail in Google Apps for Education as our MTA. Our Discourse server is designed to only serve addresses in our domain. Email from our on-campus Discourse server goes out our SMTP gateway to the internet to Google’s Gmail. MX records for our domain point at Google’s mail servers.
