Non-Member of Private Group able to email group - is this correct?

We have a private group, but recently received an email message from someone who is not a member of the group. I know that the private groups are listed in the

I thought private groups only allowed messages to be sent from other members.

Is this correct?

Thanks!

  • If needed, you can impose delivery restrictions on the group (regardless if it's Private or Public) via PowerShell:

     

    Set-UnifiedGroup groupname -AcceptMessagesOnlyFromSendersOrMembers groupname

     

    You can designate a user, DG, another Group or whatever for the list of people allowed to send.

      This is good, I would just add you can also set a moderator or approver in addition to the setting below. Just in case it is something useful. You can set multiple moderators too.

       

      Set-UnifiedGroup GroupNameHere -ModerationEnabled:$True -ModeratedBy UserMailbox

      So we hide an email address from the GAL. Once this is done, if I know the email address, but am not a group member, can I still send emails to it?  

      I'm unsure if 'hidden' means 'not visible through' or 'not available to'. Thanks in advance.
