If you need an email address for a group or a special event, you can set this up yourself. There are 2 basic options: a “private” group or a “public” group. If you want an email address that the “public” can send messages to, you will need to create a group that the “public” can post to. If you just want to communicate with only a select group of people, you will set up a “private” group.
Either group that you set up will have an email address with this protocol: groupname-grp@harding.edu. The “-grp” will be appended to the name of your group. So if you are setting it up so people can send a message to the group, be aware that the name will be groupname-grp@harding.edu. If you just need an email “alias” – an address for people to send messages to – create the group as private. You can have the messages delivered to several people or just one person.
