Since they already have control of this setting, you could send a polite message to the group requesting that they change the setting.Asking users to change their own settings is asking for trouble. Only the most computer literate will be able to do so. However, I do wonder why you would want to change the setting. This is the maximum size for attachments that get sent to members, or is there another setting I missed somewhere?If I understand correctly, it is not possible to set attachment sizes for the group. You can only set the option to receive attachments, not receive attachments, or have attachments moderated. At first I thought it would be a great idea to moderate attachments, so that I can prevent overly large or irrelevant attachments from being sent to the list, but: many people use images in their signatures... which are... attachments. So, if I set the group to moderate all attachments, I'd have to moderate every single message with an image in the signature. That would waste my time and would make it frustrating for such members to participate. So, what I want to do is set the group to accept all attachments, but then set every new member's profile to show attachments over 100 kb as a link. A number of users already joined the group in anticipation of the migration, to "test" the waters. Samuel -- |

Re: Migrating mails by simply forwarding all old mails
Samuel, What are your opinions about "migrating" the old messages by simply Bruce mentioned marking them with a hashtag, and that has an extra advantage: The hashtag can have the No Email property, avoiding the need to first set the members to No Email. A hashtag like that probably ought to also have the Use by Mods Only property. (The ideal would be if I could simply import an MBOX file, but I can see ? Mark once said he would handle that as a support request (for people transferring from Mailman lists), but I don't think it would be appropriate to ask for that as a way of side-stepping the Premium requirement for Easy Group Transfer.

Depending on your situation this may be less objectionable than leaving them behind. You might consider flagging each forwarded message by adding a hashtag or something.?

I have lots of recurring events and I have my calendar sync'd to Outlook 2016. I don;t normally use a Google calendar so I've just set one up.
All event dates and times appear just fine on both calendars before and after the clock change (31st March here in the UK). Andy |

Bulk editing scripts for member profiles
Hello everyone
I've decided to change one setting on each of my group's members' profile pages (they will be free to change it back, if they prefer). The setting is: attachment size limit 100 kb. Are there bulk editing scripts available for me to make this change in fewer steps than opening each member's profile page individually? Thanks Samuel |

Migrating mails by simply forwarding all old mails
Hello everyone
I have a Yahoogroups mailing list that I want to migrate to Groups.io, and it's got about 1200 old mails that I would like to migrate as well. However, it's a small group (about 20 members) and I'm not eager to spend another $110 for the message migration (I'm already spending $110 for a different group). What are your opinions about "migrating" the old messages by simply forwarding them all to the Groups.io list before you allow any new members to join (or: after first setting everyone to nomail)? I realise that some of the threading information will be lost, etc., but at least users will be able to search the content of all old messages. Do you know if Groups.io has some flooding protection which may interfere with such an operation? (The ideal would be if I could simply import an MBOX file, but I can see how that may expose Groups.io to potential abuse.) Thanks Samuel |

Re: Email bouncing question
Hmmm...this looks very much like the [unhelpful] message GMail gives when you try to post to a group that you aren't subscribed to. In fact I just posted to your group using my GMail account, knowing that I was not a subscriber; and I got exactly the same message back.
If you continue to page down, the actual reason for rejection will probably say something like this: The response from the remote server was: 510 5.1.1 Your email address,?noname@..., is not subscribed to that group.

Re: Non Member Posting To Group
The original author might have sent the message to the list and bcc'd it to whomever he knew was on the list. A non-careful recipient might think it was from the list and if they hit reply-all, the replies would go to the list.

Re: Non Member Posting To Group
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýShal, ? What I have discovered on further research is the non-member is a member, but the email address they used to be a member, is not the email address they used to post to the group. ? The post was made to the group using the non-member email address, along with the responses, in the Messages page. ? In Activity it said "Non-member ... attempted to send message ... via email". For the members that responded it says ¡°sent message¡via email¡± ? The group does not allow non-subscriber posts. ? There is only one other moderator, not one of the people that responded, and Activity does not show that action. The group does not have email integration, and I receive all messages from the group. ? I did search the All Activity tab of the group's Activity log for that non-subscriber email address, and only the "Non-member ... attempted to send message ... via email" showed up. ?

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? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: Non Member Posting To Group
Don,
Did the post or the responses show up in the group's Messages page?
? What activity was shown? That is, was the original post shown as "Non-member ... attempted to send message ... via email"? Or something else? Same question for the member replies. The only ways I can think of for the non-member message to reach the members via the group would be if your group allows non-subscriber posts, and you or another mod approved the post, or your group has an email integration and the non-member used that to post. But either of those would result in the post being in the group's Messages page, and distributed to all members including you (assuming you receive messages from the group). I guess another possibility is that the "non-member" spoofed a member's email address and posted as that member. But same answer: it would be in the group's pages and would have been sent to you. So the other option is that the non-member cc'd the message to (at least) those three members off-list, and they responded off-list. But then I can't imagine how you'd see the replies in the activity log. The remaining possibility, if those three members are also moderators, is that the non-member post was sent to the group's +owner address, and your co-moderators replied. But that still doesn't explain how the replies ended up in the activity log. So, I'm thinking there's more to this event than you've discovered/reported. Are you sure you didn't receive these messages, perhaps in your Spam folder? I would search the All Activity tab of the group's Activity log for that non-subscriber email address, with all actions and any date included. This may turn up additional clues.
