Gmail - User is a group is not receiving emails

+1
−0

We use Gmail with Google Workspace (G Suite) or whatever it's called. We have a group, say info@example.com. Some of our members and aliases in that group are not receiving emails and I have no idea why. After looking at things in google's "Admin" app, under that info@example.com group, I see this column "Relation" which has 2 type of values: "Direct" and "Direct and Indirect".

Google Workspace, somewhere in Gmail settings showing list of emails with a column "Relation" with "Direct" value having red cross next to it and "Direct and Indirect" value having green check mark next to it.

So far it seems to have a consistent pattern:

  • Emails with "Direct and Indirect" value receive emails.
  • Emails with "Direct" value do not receive emails.

I suspect this could be a problem (maybe, maybe not). I want to try changing "Direct" value on that first row and see if that email address will start receiving emails. However, I have no idea where to change that value. I could not find any information on this on internet whatsoever.

Questions:

  1. How can I change the value of this "Relation" column from "Direct" to "Direct and Indirect"?

  2. Alternatively, if this is not the problem, what else can I check to make all of the emails and aliases/groups inside the group to receive emails?

Doesn't Google provide some kind of support for G-Suite? Have you tried asking them?

Apparently, they seem to have support. I just thought internet might know the answer. I am also trying to de-google my life as much as possible and reaching out to support is not the first thing that came to my mind.

That's fair. Google has a lot of products with complex functionality, and they often change them. So this seems like a tough one. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone who has encountered the same issue before can tell you. But it seems hard to find out what the solution is.
