What Are Groups?
Groups are email distribution lists that allow multiple people to receive emails sent to a single address. They're perfect for:
By Location
store1024@company.com for all staff at a specific store
By Department
drivers@company.com for all delivery drivers
By Role
managers@company.com for all management staff

Understanding Whitelist
The whitelist controls who can send emails to this group. This prevents unauthorized external emails from reaching all group members.
All Members (Default)
Only group members can email the group. Best for team collaboration.
Specific Senders
Only designated people outside the group can email it. Good for functional addresses.
