I recently noticed that a non-member attempted to send a message via email to my private group, and they were successful because three of our members responded to the message. As the owner and moderator I did not receive the post from this person, or the three replies by our members that responded. I only discovered this issue when I was checking the Activity of the group. What happened here?
Don -- I'm curious...how do you know that three of your subscribers responded if you didn't get any of the messages?

What are you seeing in the online message archive? If a non-subscriber sent a post and it doesn't appear in the message archive, then he was not "successful." If the non-subscriber's message did actually post, is your group set up to allow that (see Settings>Message Policies)? Could it be that another moderator approved it??

I'm guessing that the non-subscriber sent something (or more likely, replied to something that was forwarded to him) and CC'ed some of his buddies (or vice versa). If they also do a "reply all" and the group address is among the reply-to addresses, those responses will post even when the original message did not.

Things can get messy pretty quickly when someone forwards a group message off-list.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?
