You are probably out of storage space...Basic groups are restricted to 1 GB of storage. Current usage can be found by going to Admin>Upgrade. See the wiki entry at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Managing-Attachments%2C-Files-and-Photos?for further details and remedies.

If you've already checked under Admin>Upgrade and are well under the 1 GB limit, it could be that you've logged in using an email address that does not have file upload permissions. Check the Home button at upper left for a blue Owner badge to ensure that you're logged in with an Owner account.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

Can it be set on a new group to "reply to sender only"??
Yes, that is one of the options.

I use a gmail account and have not received any messages like that.
I have my messages sent to me. All seems to be fine.

It could be your settings on your computer that is causing that.

Gmail gives me an option to say it "looks safe" but the next message gets treated the same. I wonder whether thgis one will?

I am having the exact same problem. All messages I send to one of my groups gets flagged by gmail when it is sent back to me. This is not an @gmail.com account, but business account with @domainame.com that runs through the gmail servers. Could that make a difference?

Editing can be disabled by a group setting, so it depends on how the group is set up.

If you click the "More" option at the bottom of the message on the web page view, do you get the option to "Edit Message" ?

While logged into groups.io with your comcast account, go to /account?page=prefs, scroll to the bottom, and make sure the My Posts checkbox is checked.

Failing that, this could represent over-aggressive email filtering on the part of comcast. Spammers will often insert your own email address as the From address of a message to send you spam (this is known as spoofing:? ). Because of this, some email services now check the From address of any message and if it's the same as the receiving address but did not originate from one of their mail servers, filter it out.

I don't know enough about comcast to advise on whether they provide any settings to fine-tune this behavior.?Some folks have found it necessary to turn off spam filtering entirely so as to reliably receive group messages.?You can also check your spam folder, but in my experience such messages are usually sent to the bit-bucket.?

Hope this helps,

Are you a Basic (free) group or one that is paid - for? If the latter are you payments up to date or overdue?

I assume from your mention of your Activity Log that you are an owner or moderator, and that you must therefore be logged in as such, or else you wouldn't be able to see the Log.

There is a setting that prevents members from posting, but allows moderators to post (i.e. an Announcement Group) but if you can't post as a moderator that doesn't look like the reason for things going wrong; in any case I see from your publicly viewable messages that you have numerous "posters" so you don't look like an annoucement group anyway.

If you cannot find anything then an email to [email protected] looks like the best bet.

Mesages not making it to the group

 

Our group?/g/brcg-list?has not let any messages in since January 17th. There is no evidence in the logs that the messages have been received?by the system.

I attempted to create a message in the web interface and that is not showing in the activity log.

Does anyone know what is up?


Re: Bouncing emails.

 

Bill,

?
This is a private group - member to member only.
?
That happens to be irrelevant to the bouncing question.
?
Email delivery history of a message being sent to a member shows this
?
When Message Reason
3:35pm [pchikers] February C level hike descriptions 550 5.1.0 66.175.222.12 blocked. Refer to Error Codes section at for more information. AUP#CDRBL
?
Ok. So did you have a look? Cox says:

"The sending IP address has been temporarily blocked by Cox due
?to exhibiting spam-like behavior.

?The block duration varies depending on reputation and other factors,
?but will not exceed 24 hours. Inspect email traffic for potential spam,
?and retry email delivery."

Of note is the code CDRBL - "RBL" often stands for "Real-time Blackhole List". The IP address cited (66.175.222.12) is Groups.io's outbound email server. So Cox relied on an RBL which apparently listed Groups.io as a source of spam. Some email services rely on low-quality RBL services whose data may be out of date or simply wrong.
?
To resolve this your members will have to ask Cox to whitelist Groups.io as a valid email list sender. If Cox won't do that, then the members will have to put up with losing the occasional message, or switch to a more savvy email service.

The problem I have now is, I will have to email all the members with xtra addresses, and get them to unbounce their accounts. I cannot send through , as they will not receive them. I will need to email them direct. I think they may think that the message from groups to unbounce their accounts is spam and they have deleted it. Because of the problem with xtra, there will be several hundred addresses that have been bounced.

What link do I send to them to unbounce their account?

Re: Bouncing emails.

 

Bill,


Ok, so how do I find the solution to my members being bounced with a 550.5.1.0... error code?

That depends.

Are they attempting to post to your group by email, and getting a message back from Groups.io with that code? If so have a look in your group's Activity Log to see why their postings (or replies) were rejected.

Or are they listed in you're group's Members list with a blue (or red) "B" for bouncing (or bounced)? If so look in the Email Delivery History tab of their membership page to see why their email service rejected a message from Groups.io. Tell us the text of the Reason that goes with the error code.

Accounts will continue to bounce until the underlying problem is fixed. If you know how to do that, it's a good idea to contact these subscribers ahead of time, telling them what to do.?

At that point you can force to send them a new bounce probe:

  • Go to Admin>Members.
  • Pull down the blue menu at upper left and select "Bouncing."
  • Select all associated members' checkboxes, then
  • Select "Send Bounce Probe" from the Actions menu at the bottom of the page.
Again, it's up to the subscriber to fix the underlying problem, and confirm successful receipt of a email by clicking on the link in the probe. You cannot unbounce a subscriber's account for them.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

If you are logged in, click New Topic on the left-side menu bar. This will open a window with a message editor where you can compose your message. Click the Send button when done.

Or using your email client, post a message to [email protected],?replacing GROUPNAME with the actual name of your group.

?I am testing to see if?groups.io will work for me to?import a community of 1700 from Yahoo groups to groups.io...
As of yesterday, the Yahoo Easy Group Transfer mechanism is no longer working (see?). For the foreseeable future group owners will have to transfer all content manually, including their member list.
