Curious - Jay, do you have a good way to load names into a Google
Groups list?<br>
<br>
It used to allow uploading a bunch of people and auto-subscribing
them, and that may still be possible, but their anti-spam provisions
make it very difficult. You upload a very small number of people
at a time, and if you load too many - and they won't tell you how
many that is - then you're locked out and can upload no more for
another day or so. I was able to load a few tens at a time, up
to most of a hundred per day, when last doing this a couple years
ago. So a 500-person list took more than a week to migrate,
including a few lockouts. I don't know how this compares with the
BTP lists.<br>
<br>
Uploading addresses for people who then get Google
invitations-to-subscribe is less restrictive. But unless you have
a good way of telling people what to expect, most will just miss the
subscription-invitation, or at least won't respond to it.<br>
<br>
Not sure whether the above is helpful, but if you haven't already
done that migration, then maybe it'll give you an easier time than I
had. (I don't have access to do the things you'd actually want
tech help with, like getting the existing lists to forward messages
to your new google groups.)<br>

<div>Books to Prisoners has decide to migrate our email lists
over to Google Groups for spam control, reliability and user
experience issues. We have three lists total on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://chambana.net">chambana.net</a>
and we will be ready to decommission them in the coming days
(not immediately).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will be starting with <b>Keystaff</b>, then <b>Jail
Library</b>, then the <b>General </b>list. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is anyone available to help with this effort?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>thanks,</div>
