J, I was hoping for more direct evidence of the actual address in the sent message. The inference here relies on her memory and/or the behavior of her email user interface. Is that a thing? That is,

Shal, She was apparently simply hitting "reply" to the automatically sent "pending member notice," which comes from the +owner address. HOWEVER: I have since discovered that there's a logged

Re: anyone know if Groups.io messages to aol members tend to go into spam a lot?
J, Can you verify from what she sent you that she had the +owner address completely correct (including details like +owner not -owner)? If not, you or Mark should ask that she CC your personal email

ps Shal, Since your group is unrestricted you may not be aware that a pending member's email to a group is categorized as an email from a subscriber. So as a technical point of fact, no moderator

Shal, Checked all of that already. The log doesn't even record the attempt. The person forwarded me the time-stamped, sent email so she's not making this up. Will put details together and let Mark

Re: anyone know if Groups.io messages to aol members tend to go into spam a lot?
J, Double check that at least one moderator has the Owner Email option in their Subscription set to "All Emails". Unlike Yahoo Groups, in Groups.io it is possible for mods to opt out of receiving

Re: Should bouncing messages result in deletion of member from group?
Hi Lena! I'm not entirely sure, but I think the message was plain text; the link appeared as a bare URL in the forward I received and I don't think my mod would have made that change on her own.
