You don't need a Google account to join. Email to [email protected] and confirm the join request by **replying** to the join request. But yes, if your email address is associated with a google account, then Google will default to your gmail address, even if you subscribed from a different address. To fix this you need to go to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!myforums, find the group, click **Edit** after your name, and change "Email used for membership" to your preferred address.
