Restrict sending messages to certain groups

We’ve introduced a new group setting that allows you to disable sending messages to certain groups.

This feature is particularly useful in situations where alternative communication methods are already established for a specific group, making messaging everyone in that group unnecessary. For example, many church councils and consistories have designated clerks responsible for managing correspondence, so all communication with these groups is typically routed through the clerk.

You can configure this setting on the "Create Group" or "Edit Group" pages. Simply set the "Allow sending messages to this group?" option to "No," and the group will no longer appear as a recipient option on the "New Message" page.
