Google Groups – Prevent Users from Replying to All

emailgoogle-groups

I'm on Google Apps and created a group just for beta users. I'd like to use this group email to email all the beta users (which are external to the organization). Now, if any of these beta users responds, I want the response to only be sent to me (the author).

I thought I could accomplish this by selecting the option "To the author of the message only" under "Post Replied" under "Email Options". However, I've tried this and when a user responds the group email is still cc'd and everyone gets the email. What am I doing wrong?

According to Carlos - Google Advisor, the setting works when using the Google Groups web UI, not when using a email client.

The solution is to set the permissions to post to the group only to you.
