Re: A way to pre-authorize subscription requests? #addmembers


 

Thanks for your very helpful reply, as always, Shal. ?Sorry I wasn't clear. The problem we are having is that most Gmail users who apply to a Yahoo group by sending an email are not seeing the ?"Please confirm your request" automatic replies from Yahoo Groups. Gmail marks them all as spam -- and the spam folder in Gmail is hidden.

Will be Beta testing a similar join-by-email process for Groups.io with a sample of members.?
?
Our members are very reluctant to set up an additional account anywhere -- and we don't need the browser-based features of Groups.io (chat, calendar, database, photos, files, wiki, donations) anyhow.?
?
All we want for Christmas is an email-based, moderated discussion system with reliable email delivery. ?

I've noticed that specifically for MODERATE notices in the last few
months. Never happened to me much before, so I've been marking them Not
Spam when received. I did find a way to promote my Spam folder to the
main list (above the More divide), but what I should really do is set a
Filter for them. But there's so little traffic in those groups that it
isn't really a big deal.

That's possible, but I'd hope unlikely.

That is, I'd hope that Groups.io mods wouldn't be flagging confirmations
as spam. If Gmail sees members read and delete them normally, or reply,
or click links through them, then those confirmations should gain a
positive reputation in Gmail rather than a negative one.

I've been imagining that some number of Yahoo Group mods/owners may be
marking the notices from Yahoo Groups as spam out of frustration: the
subscription control to turn them on or off at the source is no longer
available. One cannot even demote a mod or owner to stop notices that way.
