Hi.
It's all very well forwarding that notification, but the important
part about "HOW" to verify oneself is missing.
Another group did add, "just log into you groups.io account, or
reply to the message."
Well...? Replying to the message failed, but logging into my account
worked, though there is no clue on your account page that
verification is (a) needed, or (b) successfully done, or failed, or
any such status of one's account.
A very poorly managed notification I think.
Regards.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE - PLEASE READ
Groups.io has been working at re-verifying members of its
Groups in response to an spam filtering service
called?Spamhaus?affecting users.
This process has been ongoing and those members of Groups.io
groups whose e-mail domains are problematic will have already
been notified.
This is the bulk of the text of the message I received from
Groups.io:
On
Saturday January 13th, 2024, an anti-spam service called
Spamhaus labeled one of our email servers as a spam sender.
This caused any email service that uses Spamhaus to stop
accepting email from our server. Because of this, we began a
reverification process and sent out reverification emails to a
subset of our users on Sunday January 14th. Spamhaus lifted
their block on Monday, January 15th, 2024, but we need to
continue the reverification process.
You
can see which, if any, of your users are affected. Go to the
Admin section of your group and look at the Members page. Next
to each user's email, there may be a badge with the letters RI
or RS. RI means the confirmation/reverification is in
progress, but has not been completed. RS means the
confirmation/reverification has been successfully completed.
Here
are the next steps in the reverification process:
1.???? On
Sunday, January 28th, group emails to people in the RI state
will be disabled. Messages from moderators and login link
emails will still work.
2.???? Until
February 11th, people will still be able to reverify
themselves and the RI and RS badges will still show up in the
Members page.
3.???? After
that, members still in the RI state will be removed from
groups. The activity log entry will be?Membership - Member
Removed, with the added reason of?reverification failed.
?
For
domains where no reverifications happened, no invites or
direct adds will be permitted going forward. If there is a
valid person on one of those domains, they should contact?[email protected]?to
have the domain ban lifted.
We
apologize for the inconvenience this process may cause, but it
is necessary to ensure that we are able to continue delivering
group email reliably. Thank you for using Groups.io.
So,
if you received an e-mail from Groups.io explaining what is
going on , and asking you to verify your e-mail address, and you
have not yet done it, please do so.
