How emails are addressed and sent
Here's what Gaggle Mail does in between receiving group emails and sending them to your groups.
Let's say you send an email to a group:
| From: | John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com> |
| To: | Our Book Club < bookclub@gaggle.email> |
| Subject: | October's Book Choice |
Gaggle Mail:
1) Receives the message
2) Looks up the group members
3) Adds group information to some of the email fields
4) Forwards the message to the group
| From: | John Doe <bookclub+ john.doe_at_gmail.com@gaggle.email> |
| To: | Our Book Club <bookclub@gaggle.email> |
| Reply-To: | Our Book Club <bookclub@gaggle.email> or John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com> |
| Subject: | [ Our Book Club] October's Book Choice |
