Re: Syncing new messages from Yahoo to Groups.io after group transfer #yahoo


 

CL,

I've thought of directly adding the Groups.io group address to the
Yahoo group, but it looks like Yahoo is requiring a Yahoo ID for that
now.
I was able to do this.

One key is to check the "Allow Non Subscribers to Post" box in the Groups.io group. That does mean that I need to approve all such posts, but because the Yahoo Group is not a member of the Groups.io group the original poster's From information comes through in the display name of the message. Also, there is no chance of a message loop.

I don't recall if it was the -subscribe request (spoofed From the Groups.io posting address, courtesy of my Yahoo Mail account) or the invite that worked. In the case of an invite it would be important to check the "Add only to mailing list" box to avoid the need to associate it with a Yahoo ID (account).

The result is a bit ugly though, as the messages come through with the Groups.io footer appended below the Yahoo Group footer.

I would rather have used an Email Integration address than the group's posting address for this, to avoid the moderation requirement, but Yahoo Groups called the coded integration address Invalid and wouldn't let me invite it, nor respond to it when it tried to -subscribe.
