Re: Unmoderate Calendar event reminder emails?

 

I am experiencing frustration with this new setting, too and preferred it the old way, without moderation of calendar reminders.??

Thanks,

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

She uses Thunderbird email client.
Thunderbird usually generates "User-Agent:" header line. I don't see such header line in the header you quoted. Message-Id also appears empty.

Please tell her to enter the group's email addresses in the To field and your email address in the Cc field, and post (or email me Lena{}lena.kiev.ua) the header of the copy you receive entirely, unredacted.

Hello Scott,

Anytime a message is marked as spam, and is deleted the user is removed.? This happens whether they mark the message as spam, or the email client marks the message as spam.? Provided as you say, the almost immediately get a link to click on to be reinstated.? If they move the messages to their inbox and then delete if they want to will not cause them to be removed.

Greetings!

I have a member of my group that was removed for marking a message as spam.
Actually, I've had a couple of these, and understand they get an email to
resubscribe. I think the basic procedure is a great idea.

The issue in this case is the member uses Yahoo for his email (as do I; they
are my web host provider), and he said he did NOT mark it as spam, rather
Yahoo did so on its own.

I thought they would only be removed for MARKING a message spam, not when
Yahoo does so automatically.

Thoughts/comments?

Members will be removed when the spam folder is emptied with groups.io emails in it, regardless of how they got there.? If the member goes to the spam folder and marks them as 'not spam' regularly, it should eventually stop.

She uses Thunderbird email client. That's what I use and have no problem. ?

Re: Mesages not making it to the group

 

Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice.

Don; you seem to have investigated this as far as is possible, so I think now is the time for a referral to support. Your researches have been worthwhile because you now have a far more detailed picture than you had earlier and that ought to make Mark's job much easier in pinpointing the source of the trouble.

Please let us know how turns turn out, including any explanation that is forthcoming.

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

I have one member who cannot post to groups.io at all. She keeps delivery
failure messages, and these are from several devices when both sending a
new message and trying to reply to an existing one. Here is her latest
bounce message. Ideas on what's happening here? She's never been able
to post to the groups since switching over, but she gets mail.
I suspect that the cause of the bounce is empty envelope-from:

More generally, the "stuff" beyond the question mark in a URL is used to pass values to server-side variables (PHP and the like). We had a recent discussion here in GMF on the elaborate URL you get when you right-click on a topic in groups.io...for example, the thread I'm posting to now:

/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/groups_io_site_updates/29551395?p=,,,100,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,100,2,0,29551395?

[and now after "cleaning"...]

groups.io?

Having intercepted this message in moderation, we can see that's NOT what it's doing. It merely collapsed the displayed text into a hyperlink with only domain info, while the actual html reference is unaltered (okay, it changed the commas and such to hexidecimal). I pasted the original back above the cleaned link so you can see what happened.?

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Yeah, I checked everything. The e-mail address is correct. Yes, it's a subgroup in which this member belongs, and no, her attempts to post never made it to the log. It must be with her ISP.

Thanks again.

Re: Groups.io site updates #changelog

 

Andy,

I think this week's change log is actually at
Oops, yes. You caught me being lazy (I generally copy the prior message as a template for the new one). I fixed it in the onsite copy.

Can someone clarify what exactly this function is cleaning?
That's my question as well.

(see for a description
of these)
Thank you for that, it helps clarify for me why a moderator would want to remove them - or not. I've often manually trimmed "clutter" like that from URLs just to make them shorter and easier to understand. Now I know that passing them on "gives credit" to whatever the source of the link was, should any of my members click on it in a message. That may or may not be desirable.

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

Bob,

I'm not a subgroup expert but the email address appears to be to a
subgroup, PrayerChatter, of cwgi, from the form used.
Correct.

But I would suggest it indicates that the address simply doesn't exist
in the form used in the email.
That does not seem to be the problem:

[email protected] - from the error report
[email protected] - from the subgroup's home page

The change of case in the subdomain name should be harmless -- the DNS system operates in a case-insensitive fashion. So it isn't obvious how the member's service could an error based on that difference alone.

2. Is the person a member of both the main group and the subgroup?
1. Is it possible they have bounced or not have rights to post?
If I'm correct the member's service never made contact with Groups.io to deliver the message, so those questions haven't come into play yet. Also, Groups.io issues specific error texts "not a member" and other disqualifications.

But just to double-check it makes sense to look at the subgroup's Activity Log.

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

Brandy,

Is it possible her ISP is blocking or not playing nice with groups.io?
Possible, but it seems unlikely on the sending side, since they're allowing her to receive from the group.

So this seems to me less a deliberate block as some kind of technical problem, more along the lines Bob is looking for (though the email address appears correct).

His question does prompt me to ask if you've looked in the subgroup's
Activity Log for any indication that Groups.io was contacted by her service. Presumably it would be one of the many "attempted to send"
cases. If there is a corresponding log entry that may provide crucial
information.

Shal,
[email protected]?
I'm not a subgroup expert but the email address appears to be to a subgroup, PrayerChatter, of cwgi, from the form used.
Most of the search results for error 500 say that "It's the worst error ever to have with email". It indicates server error
But I would suggest it indicates that the address simply doesn't exist in the form used in the email.
This, to me brings up a couple of questions:
  1. Is there actually a PrayerChatter sub group within cwgi or is there a possibility that incorrect case has been used on the email address?
  2. Is the person a member of both the main group and the subgroup?
    1. Is it possible they have bounced or not have rights to post?
I think there are more possibilities here but don't know enough about subgroups to comment more.

This appears to be a message from her email service, saying that it was unable to deliver the message to your group. I'm not sure what "(reading confirmation)" is trying to tell us, but "Please retry later" seems to imply that they'll take some action to cure the problem.

As best as I can unwind that ball of header text it seems to confirm that the message was never delivered to Groups.io, and stopped at her email service's outbound servers.

I think your member will have to take this information to her service's technical support and have them explain/correct the problem.

That's what I was thinking, but she's saying she has no other problems posting to any other groups or to us before we moved to groups.io. Is it possible her ISP is blocking or not playing nice with groups.io?

Certain email providers tend to bounce more than others, while some very rarely bounce.? Most of it depends on what's happening 'beneath the hood', so there's not much that an individual can do about it, other than changing providers.? There should be a technical explanation in your account of why it bounced, i.e. "550 5.1.0 66.175.222.12 blocked. Refer to Error Codes section at for more information. AUP#CDRBL", but it can take some detective work to decipher it.? Each email service will have their own descriptions of the codes.
