Does anyone know if this payment for sponsorships is limited to US zip codes?? I've had one Canadian member suggest that his zip code is not being accepted.

There's a group setting for this. Look at the final entry in the Privacy section.

Hello

In edit mode, I have an email address that displays fine:

myemail@...?[Obfuscated by moderator]

but when I published, I got a truncated email address

myemail@...??[Also edited by moderator]

although the email I received of the post was fine.

[Example removed by Moderator]

Can anyone help please and tell me how to edit the message on the forum to display the email address correctly.

Thanks

PS Please don't be worried that my name and the email name is different. I'm publishing this message on behalf of another owner in the group.

You might be able to get this information, but you'd have to upgrade to an Enterprise group and use Google Analytics.? Maybe an Enterprise owner can let us know for sure.

Hi - is there anyway of determining whether a member has logged onto the group - taken a look around at what is going on - made no changes/made no postings/downloaded nothing - just looked around and then signed off ? In this way by having this feature, I could probably determine the interest of the sillent majority - barry?

I have ONE g.io list whose posts I often don't get. I figured this out when I'd get a digest that had replies to stuff I hadn't seen. I finally also subscribed to a sock-puppet gmail address I use for such things, so now I see the posts and often reply using the web UI.

My mailboxes are on Cox still, and they do a lot of rate-limiting; the mystery is why just that list. It's not high-volume, nor does it have a particularly huge membership, so it seems odd. But when you have third parties like Spamhaus involved, all bets are off, of course.

I have been missing a lot of emails from groups.io recently. They are being bounced by Virgin Media due to their ratelimit being exceeded. I have reported this on the Virgin Media customer forum get the impression that not many people have reported the problem and Virgin Media seem to think it is ?to do with Spamhaus even though it is clear that ratelimiting is the problem. I hope others who are suffering with this problem are reporting it to Virgin Media in the hope that it will get fixed?

As Duane said, VM have been one of the more 'enthusiastic' mail providers when it come to rate limiting messages.

I'm not sure how I can find the IP address of the server concerned.

The IP address is given in the message about rate limiting.

We have been receiving messages with no problems until recently.

As new Groups.io mail servers are brought online, messages from certain groups will be sent through them. Only Mark knows how the workload is distributed amongst the different servers.

It is disturbing as I have missed messages about messages requiring approval, and replies to messages asking for minutes to be reviewed.?

Unless the messages appear in the 'Bounces' section of your email delivery history, then you haven't missed anything. Groups.io will try multiple times with extending time periods between each retry before eventually giving up and showing the message as being bounced.

We may have to go and look for a different group email provider.

Don't forget that email is not a guaranteed service regardless of who the sender is.? No company can guarantee delivery of a message when they don't own all the infrastructure between sender and recipient. You may decide to use another system but I think you would not find one where the developer is so responsive to user support requests.

Virgin Media is one of the known 'problem' email services.? They seem to eventually catch up, but no one knows how long it takes.

Unfortunately your reply to me was affected by this problem, and I have now discovered that other members of one of the groups has been affected.

I and the other member are both using .ntlworld email addresses, i.e. we are virgin media customers.

When I use Google to search this problem, I see other virgin media customers are encountering this problem. I also see there was a thread on this on this forum back in September, but there doesn't seem to be a resolution there, as shte suggestion people switch to 'summary' might just end up with the summary message being subjected to the hourly ratelimit and not delivered.

It is disturbing as I have missed messages about messages requiring approval, and replies to messages asking for minutes to be reviewed.?

While I can am happy to go online to the Groups.IO site to check for undelivered messages, I'm not so sure some of my members would be willing to do this on a regular basis. We may have to go and look for a different group email provider. Sigh.

When I export sub-group information (from the main group settings and directly from the sub-group settings), this field is left out.

Extra member data is not included in the export from a main or subgroup.

Could this be a future update?

There was a suggestion on for this back in 2022. You could always try and give it another nudge there. I would read that whole topic though as there were some thoughts base upon the different field types that could be used for the extra member data.

Maybe they use different addresses for different purposes and accidentally joined with the wrong one.

This is precisely what I did in the last week. I noticed a new group that was relevant to me, went to join and noticed in the "bot" confirmation email that it was sent to my general purpose email address, not my hobby email address.

Thus I quit the list in question from my general purpose email address and joined with my hobby email address. I have a few email addresses, two mobile devices and three PCs. Keeping the emails straight on all devices is a task of its own.

Please allow me to put in a plug for the Groups.io mobile App. Not too long ago I was in zoom meetings with a couple prospective moderators and a co-owner. The entire? zoom session was about organizing files and testing permission levels to assist in that goal. Live during that zoom session, I was able set & reset member/moderator permissions for a user as well as revise the file system permissions all in real time.
There's nothing like actually trying out the differing permission levels for both the file system and the user level in real time. I know I may have been able to do the same switching tasks on the PC, but to me it was easier with two devices.

Cheers,
Dave F.

Once I got my mind to accept that it is better to have less members, but they want to be part of my groups, than lots more who have moved on with their lifes and have no interest anymore, I was ok about it.

I had to learn to not take it personally. If they no longer find the group
useful or interesting, it's their decision.

I used to belong to a group where, upon leaving the group, a member was sent a
brief message asking for any feedback on why they left or if they had any
constructive comments. I don't feel that I need to follow-up on their decision.

Some ham radio groups you may be interested in:
/g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas
/g/HamRadioHelp /g/Baofeng
/g/CHIRP

Repeatedly might be odd, but might not. Whether the domain changes or not is key IMHO.
I own my domain, use a global forwarder. And while other anti-spam measures have worked well enough that lists@<mydomain> has been fine for 20+ years, if I started getting tons of spam to that address I'd change my list addresses and blackhole that one. So *maybe* this person keeps getting spam storms?

You can do this with a Goodbye notice.?
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-member-notices/goodbye-notice

You can also add a personal signature for your own posts. (In Subscription). That could contain a short piece about controlling the volume of email:
/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/controlling-the-volume-of-email-messages-you?single=true

Or you can add a footer to all the posts for that group - through Admin, Settings, Message Formatting.

Does your group routinely post a "Welcome" message, or a monthly reminder? If not, it's possible that these people may not be aware of the "web only" setting (where they retain membership, but only access messages via the site, and don't receive an email for every post - or even a daily digest). I try to mention that whenever a new member joins, and it's included in a "mostly monthly" reminder I send out. I also make it a point to reply to each person who unsubscribes, and let them know of this "web only" option, if they are leaving simply because the list traffic picked up.?
