If you're having trouble sending an email to your Meetup Group's Mailing List, there are a couple things that might be causing the trouble:
Are you emailing from the right email address?
Emails sent to a Meetup Group's Mailing List must come from the email address associated with your Meetup account. If you aren't yet a member, or if you're emailing from an address that isn't attached to a Meetup account, the email won't go through.
Are you trying to send an email or an attachment that's too large?
Right now, emails sent through the Mailing List need to be less than 2MB total. That includes the email itself and any attachments. (Most text-only emails are just a few KBs -- HTML based emails can be a few hundred KBs.) If your trying to send an attachment that's very close to 2MB in size, the total size of the attachment and the email may be a bit too large.
Is it your very first time trying to email a Mailing List?
First time senders may receive an email asking them to confirm that they were trying to send a message to the entire Meetup Group. You'll need to click a link in that email to confirm that you're the sender, or the email won't be sent. If your message doesn't seem to go through, check your inbox and your spam filters to make sure you didn't miss that confirmation email.
