Where do bounce notifications for Google Groups emails go?
I have a Group setup in Google Groups. I am using an SMTP relay in Amazon AWS to send emails to people utilizing the email address associated with that group. I did a test, sending to a fake email address, to see where the bounce notifications go. No bounce notification is being sent to the Google Group as near as I can tell. Does this mean it is being sent back to the original SMTP relay server instead? Or, is it going to the group, but Google Groups does not display bounces? If it is the later, is there a way to get delivery failure notifications to show up as topics in the group?

Anthony,
Great suggestion to check the Email Log Search. They were in there. I had to setup a compliance routing rule to be able to do a reroute based on a recipient/subject combo. Considerably more convoluted than Office 365, but it works.

Likely this will go to the original sender, so if you forged some bogus email address, then you'll never see a bounce as the bounce will go to the email address you used.
2) Or, is it going to the group, but Google Groups does not display bounces?
No.
3) If it is the later, is there a way to get delivery failure notifications to show up as topics in the group?
No.
Note: For Google Groups bounce processing is likely a bit different than you're imagining.
Since Google sends the email notification, the actual sender address will be some Google address.
To determine exactly where bounces will be returned, look at the headers of some message you receive from Google Groups.
This will tell you where bounces are to be returned from Mailbox Providers.
