User hashtags in calendar Event Names
New to groups.io as a manager and liking very much the tools I see after being on Yahoo.
Our group calendar is filling up with many weekly repeating events, all with reminders sent as normal messages. I want to use hashtags so members can mute repeating events that don't interest them.? My first attempt was creating an event with this Event Name:
Concert Saturday at #LaJacaranda, P¨¢tzcuaro
At the appropriate time, the reminder email appeared with this subject line:
[The Michoacan Net] Concert Saturday at #LaJacaranda, P¨¢tzcuaro - Sat, 8/18/18 8:00pm-10:00pm #cal-reminder
The bottom of the message contained the expected "Mute #cal-reminder", but not "Mute #lajacaranda", which was the option I wanted to give our members.? However, "#lajacaranda" does show up in the group's Hashtag page.
What am I doing wrong?? I want the system to generate a subject line that says:
[The Michoacan Net] Concert Saturday at #LaJacaranda, P¨¢tzcuaro - Sat, 8/18/18 8:00pm-10:00pm #lajacaranda #cal-reminder
Thanks for any advice,
Mark

Some mail providers don't have adequate server capacity to handle the volume of email originating from services like groups.io. Instead of paying money to increase capacity, they throttle back the amount of email passing through based on IP address and other filtering techniques. Looking at the GMF archive, this behavior has previously be reported from charter.net and rr.com. Could your subscriber using one of these services? If so, the problem with likely recur every now and then. The flippant [yet most effective] answer to the problem is to get a better email provider.?See? this thread?for a recent discussion on this topic.

Steps I took as follow - to no avail:

(a) -- I tried to send this "removed" member a new INVITE using his email address ( [redacted])? and it would not go thru -- and when I checked the "SENT INVITATIONS" It came up zero? (0) sent

So what the heck is that !!!
?
(c)? -- NEXT -- I checked the membership register rolls for my group and he is NO LONGER LISTED -- nor does his email address ([redacted]) come up in a member search --- 0 is what I get as a result.

(d) -- I called this member today a few minutes ago (a long time member and friend) by phone and we spoke -- but he was at the beach and was not by his computer to do any additional troubleshooting with me via phone instructions.? However,? his membership IS REMOVED from my group.?
Again... ?W H Y !!!!
?
SO please tell me WHO and WHY this member was removed ("unsubscribed") from MY Group --- not done by him,? not done by me ---? WHO authorized anyone at Groups.io to do this ??? ? And now he can't get back in via REGISTERING because your system states to him that his email address is "still used and on board at the group".? When actually,? its not and it is NOT in the membership list anymore !? WHY would you remove a member for what is indicated in the email your team sent me below !!!
?
Please respond ASAP as to how to fix this.? I thought this similar kind of nonsense ended when we moved away from YAHOO Groups,
and please respond to me at the email address I sent this message from.? Thank you? !!? (SEE FORWARDED MESSAGE SENT TO ME BY THE GROUPS.IO team attached below...)

Deferred - 452 4.1.1 Too much mail from this address E2210
I've been trying to invite someone and from the very first attempt, their email keeps getting returned with the following message:
Deferred - 452 4.1.1 Too much mail from this address E2210
We've confirmed her email is valid. ?We're communicating about this over email. ?She's added our group email to her contacts.
Any insights?

You're correct, it isn't true. What actually happened was the user (or their email provider) reported a [non-spam] groups.io message as spam. What also happened is that the subscriber was immediately sent an email with a link; if that link is clicked on within 3 days, their subscription is reinstated. This is explained in great detail in the GMF wiki (see? /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam). Please read the wiki entry and let us know if you need further clarification. Searching this group's message archive for "removed spam" will also turn up multiple threads initiated by other irate group owners. The bottom line is that there is nothing you can do, short of educating your subscribers not to mark group messages as spam, and complain to their ISP whenever it chooses to do so without their consent.

Member removed for sending spam only not
Hi,
I'm a new owner here. Today one of my group members was removed supposedly for sending a spam message, only that isn't true. We are running classes and only people who pay for the class are sent invitations. Is this common and is there anyway to prevent the platform from doing this without the owner's approval?
Not happy,

Re: Identical Email going to to my subgroup aol email aol address not going to me at main group other aol email address
Thanks - figured as much, although other email through AOL to this address is getting through.? I don't allow "no email" in my groups.? AOL #@$%$#@#? I would change except 100's of folks/groups across the country know and use this email address from years and years and years of use.
Thanks again

Re: Identical Email going to to my subgroup aol email aol address not going to me at main group other aol email address
Dr. Denver Fox,
I sent an identical message through both my group and my sub group, for which I have different AOL email addresses.
Note that the address in the subgroup is perforce also a member of the primary group. But might have its subscription set "No Email" there. The message to the subgroup came through, but not from the main group to another aol email address.? Also tried sending from the web page, still no success to my main group aol email address.
My first thought is that address might have its subscription set to something other than Individual messages.
However, if
the screen-scrape in your subsequent message is showing a missing
message as successfully delivered, then it is AOL that is messing with
you.
Nothing in the spam folder, no bouncing on my account.
If the evidence is that the missing messages are being delivered, there's not much to be done from the Groups.io end.

Re: Group for blind managers
Thanks to all the blind input. After reading everyone's opinion, lets take the road of keeping all just as is presently and use the #blind hashtags if necessary.

Great, good support.
Sorry if you get two of these, not sure if 1and1 ever fixed my WEBmail.
To work around that, I "always" read and post from the Group site.
Problem solved if I return to doing just that.

Re: Major issues in my group, spoofed or something internal in IO??? Help please.
Jim,
Yahoo rejected all incoming email from USER@... of it didn't originate
from . Spoofing - rare to begin with - went to zero for my groups
when that was implemented.
That level of filtering is done at Groups.io as well.
In the case at hand the spoofed message had an "envelope-from" (the "mail from" provided at connection time in the SMTP protocol) that matched the domain that delivered the message. As such it would also have been accepted by Yahoo Groups also.
However the header-from (the from field provided inside the message header) was spoofed to match the subscription address of the group's owner. This form of spoof is not rejected (by either service) because it is too often used legitimately by people who use email forwarding services.

Re: Messages bouncing iCloud accounts
Received from Julian Thornhill at 8/8/2018 09:10 PM UTC: "I suspect this may be one for whoever runs <>Groups.io, but can they sort out their bulk email settings. Pretty much every time I get a digest from the <redacted> group I have to unbounce my account because their bulk email settings are dodgy and iCloud bounces it. What "bulk email settings?" Looks to me like iCloud is setting arbitrary standards. I'd be telling the affected member to contact iCloud about the problem. Perhaps the iCloud standards are due to the size of the digest as compared to the device receiving the digest. I'd personally call a 100 kb email received on my iPhone rather unworkable... perhaps iCloud not only agrees, but also forces that interpretation on its users who are using mobile devices. Jim H
