This page is for administrators who manage groups for an organization. To manage groups for your own account, visit Google Groups help.
Messages from groups automatically bounce when more than 66% of the members in the group are suspended.
Remove suspended members from a group
If you remove a member from a group, they no longer receive email addressed to the group. Removing a member does not delete the user's account.
Also, if you remove the group owner, the group still works. As an administrator, you can manage the group or assign ownership to another user.
