It's a restricted group. ?I receive a message from groups.io "Subscription Approval Needed" with the person's email address. ?I click on View Pending Member to see if there is a name. ?I check the National Member list to see if I can find the person by the email address. ?If they are on that list, I click on Reply. ?If I can't find them, I don't do anything. ?In either case I receive a message "New Subscriber To [email protected]"?with the email address and the name and/or email address is on the groups.io member list.

? ? What am I doing incorrectly? ?Why is the name/email address on the member list?

The message is being bounced by groups.io because they haven't unbounced their account, so the email daemon on their Yahoo account sends them this notice.? Once they visit the web site, as shown, and unbounce their account, all should work until the next time.

Re: Member not bouncing but not receiving mail

We just moved from YahooGroups and have about 350 members that have subscribed over the last week as we transitioned. Of that now we have about 8 or 9 members bouncing, all are either SBCGlobal or ATT.Net addresses.

One of them forwarded a part to me that had this in it:

From: MAILER-DAEMON@...
Subject: Failure Notice
Date: February 4, 2018 at 5:57:09 PM CST
To: xxxxxxx@...

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<[email protected]>:
500: Your account is bouncing. Please visit the web site to unbounce your account.

Message-Id: <851B0E8F-257E-4D70-A0CD-22B4F26AA170@...>



I am curious as to why it is showing that the failure message is coming from Yahoo.

Is ATT/SBC blocking io Groups?

I also use Thunderbird, kept updated, but have not had this occur. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the digest delivery, as I receive individual emails. Perhaps take it up with Mozilla.

Another approach would be to assume that there isn't such an ability, and post it as a suggestion in beta. You never know, that might prompt a work-around from someone else.

I can see where Groups.io might not want to make such an ability generally available, but adding it to the transfer agent's repertory might not be out of the question.

Re: Google Sites Wiki

 

On the groups.io recruiting list it says there is an algorithm for yahoo groups transfers and one for google groups transfers, but that's all I know.

Re: Approve and unmoderate sender not working with Facebook #integration

 

The posts do arrive with a hashtag, yes. I have the group set for Only Moderators Can Create Hashtags, so the #facebook hashtag was indeed set to Moderated. Thank you for the solution (and for your moderation of my questions). ~ Holly

Re: Approve and unmoderate sender not working with Facebook #integration

 

Do you have a hashtag assigned to the FB posts?? If so, check to make sure you don't have it set to Moderated.? That's the only thing I can think of that might create your situation.

Approve and unmoderate sender not working with Facebook #integration

 

I receive a moderation request every time our Facebook page posts to my group, even though I have checked "Approve and unmoderate sender." Is there a way to white list the author,?noreply(at)groups(dot)io or some other fix?


Re: Groups.io Digests and Thunderbird

 

Jim,

It does not happen with mine (Forte Agent 8.x). Agent is used more for
newsgroups than email but it has a great email client. It's not free,
though. It's also not as full featured as T-bird in some ways but it
makes up for it in security and has a great scripting language for
message routing if you really want control over that process.

Re: Message on spoofing?

 

Jeremy,

I have a new group that ha a member receiving the following return
when he posts, either text or phots, to the group:
I assume you mean when he posts a message, whether it contains only text or has photos. Because I don't think he'd get any return just from uploading a photo on site.

How do I stop this message? He¡¯s using an email address from his own
domain.
I don't think you can do anything about it, it is something between him and the service he's using to receive his emails.

I think what's going on is that when he posts a message to Groups.io his message is sent back to him, with the group footer appended & etc. His email service sees that message, which says it was From him, but was actually sent by some other service. So in that strict sense they are correct: Groups.io "spoofed" the member's address into the From of the posted message.

Maybe there's a setting he can use to "white list" Groups.io as a sender, or maybe he needs to contact his service's tech support and ask them how to avoid this message when using mailing lists. Most mailing lists (including Yahoo Groups, pre-DMARC) would do the same thing so it is something they ought to know about and be able to handle.

Either that or they don't want to support customers who use mailing lists, and he should take a hint.

I, too, am running Thunderbird (52.6.0, 32-bit, on Win10), and see the same behavior (clicking on a "mailto:..." link in the digest opens a new, blank, tab in T-bird, in addition to opening a new message composition window).? This isn't limited to the Groups.io digest, though -- I'm seeing the same behavior in other emails (e.g. one I received from Yahoo groups).? However, it doesn't behave this way for all "mailto" links, and I haven't figured out what's different about the ones that make the extra noise (looks to be something about the surrounding HTML, though).

Re: re changing members address

 

Win,

One of my members has emailed me asking if I could change the address
with which he joined the group.
Is that possible for me to do, or does he have to do it himself?
He has to do it for himself.

If so, how?
Via his Account page. He'll have to log in to Groups.io, then click on his name in the upper right and select Account. The first thing on that page is a box where he can change his email address.

Re: How can I close a poll?

 

It's a bit convoluted right now, but there are changes planned according to the TODO list, .? To close a Poll, go to the message and select Edit Poll from the More menu.? Once that page opens, the Close Poll button is at the bottom.? If you change your mind, you can go back to the same place and click Reopen Poll.

To limit the time it's open, sort of, you can edit the hashtag #Poll and set the Duration, then choose Lock Topic just below that.? Choices are One Hour, One Day, One Week, One Month, One Year, and Forever.? The limitations here are that the time will be the same for all polls and you can only Lock the topic, not close the poll.? You'd still need to follow the above to close it officially.

There's currently no way to have the results emailed to you, but it has been requested.? For now, you have to go to the message and look at who responded.

When replying online, there are a couple of options.? You can select a bit of the post that you want to quote, as I did here, before hitting the Reply button and it will be copied in.? If you want to quote the entire post, you can select the little talk bubble at the top left of the Reply box after it opens to have it inserted.? I don't remember a way to set anything as a default though.
