Answer 2

I don't know if that's possible to do that.  I believe both members have to agree to be added as an contact, and it has to go through the proper channels.

Answer 3

I think the following answer to the "How can I directly add (not invite) members to my group?" can help you out:

To add (directly import) members to your group:

1. Go to your group's homepage.

2. Click Members from the list on the left of any page.

3. In the upper right, click Invite People.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add Members from an existing email list.

5. In the first box, enter the email addresses of new members you want to add, one per line. In the second box, type any message you’d like them to receive regarding their addition to your group.

6. Click Continue.

7. Review the list of email addresses to be added. If you'd like to edit it, click on Edit. To add the new members, click Continue.

8. Now, review the welcome email that will be sent, and if it looks good to you, click Add Members. If you’d like to change the "My introductory message to you" portion of the email, click Edit. The remainder of the text cannot be changed.

9. You may add 10 addresses per day. The limit applies both to an individual group and an individual moderator.

Example 1: If you have 2 groups, you may add 10 members per day to one or 5 to each.

Example 2: If there are two moderators for your group who add members, each of you may add 5 per day, or just one of you could add 10 and the other none, etc.

(Note: per day does not mean calendar day; there will usually be a 24-28 hour lag before more users can be added.)

Important Notes regarding use of this feature:

A. It’s against the Yahoo! Groups Terms of Service to add people to your group without their permission. Yahoo! Groups provides the Add Members feature as a convenience to group moderators for those occasions that require directly importing a few email addresses to a group. If you abuse this feature, your group will be deleted and your Yahoo! account will be suspended.

B. Yahoo! highly recommends using the Invite Members feature as the preferred method to add members to your group.
