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

VasilMichev Kathleen Lynch If you need to reverse the above command:
Set-UnifiedGroup groupname -AcceptMessagesOnlyFromSendersOrMembers $null
Internal users can send emails to a Group, even if it is private.
You can hide the Group email address from the GAL by PowerShell.
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.
- To clarify, the powershell can prevent mail from non-members overall
