Is there a policy in these groups regarding including outsiders in a

he has yet to join an email group.
It's not forbidden, but it's a bad idea for two reasons:
1. The mailing list software won't forward the other address
through, so only _your_ messages will go to them.
2. If they do reply to your message, it won't go to the list
anyway.
I'd suggest helping your friend subscribe to the group.
