"Reply-to" settings

Description

This article describes the four settings for the "Reply-to" messages setting in groups and what each setting means and includes the steps to change this setting in a group.


Resolution

The "Reply-to" option has four settings:

  • All Members
  • Sender
  • Group Owner
  • Leave Group

All Members - Most discussion groups use this setting, where replies go out to all the members of a group.

Sender - Choose this option to have replies go to the person who sent the message being replied to and NOT to the entire group.

Group Owner - Choose this option only if you don't want discussion in a group and prefer all responses to go to you, the group owner.

Leave Group - This setting is sometimes selected by announcement-only newsletter groups that want to make it easy for someone to unsubscribe simply by replying to the newsletter.


To change the "Reply-to" setting for a group:

  1. From the list on the left, click Management. This link only appears if you’re the owner of the group or a moderator with the appropriate privileges.
  2. Under "Group Settings", click Messages.
  3. Click Edit next to "Postings & Archives".
  4. Under "Reply-to" in "Posting Options", choose your preference.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Note: Only group owners or moderators with appropriate permissions (the ability to “change group settings”) can make this change.
