This is most likely a bug so I'd suggest emailing support.
Also, you could download the feed.ics file and open in a text editor to see what start/end times are published in it. Toby Looks like this: BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Groups.io Inc//Groups.io Calendar//EN
METHOD:PUBLISH
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20181013T172540Z
ORGANIZER;CN@... Group:mailto:[email protected]
DTSTART:20181024T183000Z
DTEND:20181024T200000Z
SUMMARY: Oct Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Best Practices for Budgets. |

I have an issue when sharing the calendar of my group and subscribing in Apple's iCal on my Mac: all-day events (single-day or several-day events) all start a day earlier and end a day too soon vs. what I have set on the groups.io backend. Time zones are the same in entry and on the global setting below the calendar view on the right (UTC+1, Amsterdam, Berlin...).
What am I doing wrong? Any help is highly appreciated! |

Re: Mysterious Email Problem
Jim,
This will be a simplistic explanation of what Spamhaus is, but I was told it's a bot type program designed to look for Spammers. It looks for large amounts of emails sent by an entity, and some how makes a determination the entity is a Spammer, then black lists that entity. At least, that's how I understand it. Thinking back on things that I have done on my group, I have one idea of what may have caused this problem. I built up a list of people that I have invited over a period of time (All past members of the group at one time), and it had maybe 40 to 50 people on it. About one a month I would use that list of saved invites, and re-invite them again in mass. This may have made me look like a Spammer. Don |

Re: Invitation questions
Michael,
?
Yes, Apple¡¯s Mail application did lenkify it and address an email to [email protected] Ok, that's simple linkification then. I'm just surprised that an email interface would do it in the Subject text, but I suppose someone found it handy. but not from the email address it was sent to, rather my most frequently used email address It would most likely be whatever address is your default From, when composing a new message. Anyway, back to your original question: I sent myself a new invitation and sure enough, the first line is as you described:
My address was not made a link, but the group was identified by its posting address, written as a link to its home page. It may seem weird to have a link whose text is an email address but whose URL is a web address, but I think it is a straightforward consequence of using the group's posting address as its name. If shalstest didn't have subgroups it would be sufficient to have written that link as - omitting the email syntax - but then you'd need some other syntax for specifying subgroups. Bottom line: I don't see a problem with it the way it is, but you're always free to post a suggested change in beta.

Re: Mysterious Email Problem
The problem according to a level 2 tech at cox.net is I am black listed by Spamhaus.east.cox.net, and they are going to hand this problem over to their engineers, and thought they might be able to solve this¡It has to do with reputation. I contacted Mark at support about this also, to see if he might be able to solve this on his end. I'll know how this works out on the 15th, when I have an appointment to talk to that tech again.

Re: When will transfer take place?

BTW, on /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups I'm at step 2 and yes, I did invite the transfer agent to the Yahoo group. And the transfer does show as in progress at the bottom of /yahootransfer. I originally sent the invite a week ago (Nov 5), and sent another one today (Nov 12).Waiting for the transfer agent to accept the invitation is the longest step in the process. Sending additional invitations in an attempt to hurry things up seems to have the opposite effect.? To check status of your transfer, you need to actually click on the group name found in the "In Process" drop-down menu. There will be a status box at the top of the resulting page. Based on what you've told us, it probably says "We have received your invitation and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." If it says something else, come back here and let us know. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/8697? Regards, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Re: question about bouncing members.
To resolve bounces:
1 go to member's page and view the email delivery history bounce error messages. 2 communicate those errors to tech support at the member's email service provider AS THEY ARE THE ONES DOING THE BLOCKING. 3 wait til tech support at the member's email service provider?says they have fixed their problem or whatever they are doing to block the email from groups.io. 4 now send a bounce probe to see if the problem is really fixed.?? 5 if the probe email is delivered and the member responds to the probe (clicks on the link in the email), groups.io will resume sending email to the member. The member will likely not receive email from groups.io, including a bounce probe email, until his service provider stops blocking email from groups.io. |

Re: Have we been hacked?
Janice, very unlikely your group was hacked.? Much more likely your list member's email was either spoofed, or possibly her email account password was hacked.? When I have this happen on my list, I temporarily moderate the affected list owner and send them a private email from the list mods letting them know they were either spoofed or possibly their email account password was hacked.? I suggest to the list member to change their email account password, check their Sent box (if their account was truly hacked, it will be FILLED with these spam messages sent out), and not a bad idea to update their anti-virus/security software, and scan their computer (for any possible bots or trojans).? Once they've done that, let us list mods know by replying to this message, and we un-moderate them.?
