using google groups email address for appleID

Hello

I want to create an Apple ID, and I want to use a google groups email account (e.g. "groupName@googlegroups.com") as the primary email address. The google group has been set up with high security levels (only a couple of people with owner-level permissions have access to read emails, it is otherwise not open or exposed to the public. This group was set up in my workplace for registering software and hardware purchases (apple and others) so that multiple administrators can manage upgrades and licenses, and so the administrators can change over time but have access to previous admins' emails.

When I created the Apple ID, everything seems fine but the verification email was not received by the google group. So either Apple is blocking the outgoing message, or google groups is blocking the message on the incoming side.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do what I am trying to do?

thanks

Eli

Thanks Dah•veed

I managed to find the problem on my own, I turned on too many restrictions in the google groups; I needed to relax the permissions to allow public posting.

Apple ID security issues -

Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
