Spamhaus and the need for some members to verify their email addresses


 

groups.io has been working at reverifying members of its groups in response to a spam filtering service called Spamhaus affecting users.

This process has been ongoing and those members of groups.io groups whose email domains are problematic will have already been notified.? I just checked members of this group and have noted that there are some who have already been re-verifying their emails.? This is the bulk of the text of message I received from groups.io that has some details of these goings on:

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 email from groups.io explaining what is going on and asking you to verify you email address and you have not yet done so, please do so.

Cheers

While I understand admins can tell if users are verified. Is there a way for users to tell if they're verified?

Not that I am aware of. I would assume that if you received an email from Groups.io regarding re-verfication and followed the instructions then all is well unless you receive a followup email to the contrary.?

P.S. Just to clarify, if you haven't received an email from Groups.io asking you to re-verify, then you have nothing to worry about and there is no need to reply to this thread.?

Just to clarify one more time ... if you need to re-verify your address you will have received an email from Groups.io saying so, then just follow the instructions to the letter.
If you having received an email then you have to do nothing.

Replying to this thread won't? achieve anything other than annoy everyone else on this group.?
