Maybe you need to look at the Groups 'defaultsubsettings'; Message Selection and what choices have been made here.

Re: Bouncing member not receiving probe
I've got a bouncer who swears he has no such SPAM messages,
That may mean that his email service rejected the bounce probe(s) as well. He may have to contact the technical support for his service and read them the response code (from the Reason column in the Recent Bounces section of the Email Delivery History tab on his Subscription page. Hopefully they can use that information to correct the problem.
It isn't supposed to happen, but it is also possible that his email service discarded the bounce probe message(s) after accepting them.
? but i wonder if he just deleted them by accident without thought to the different subject shown.
That's also possible.

You can Shal, on Y* at least (dont use other). To swap between hobbies where other 'name' is inappropriate I created a generic additional email addy**. Works fine.

Donald,
Thanks for the suggestions. However, as I said on the other message
(before this one) I forgot to add, I want this to schedule a poll,
so, it would need to be a groups.io feature itself, I think.
Anyway, I'll take a look at some Thunderbird (the email client I'm
using) add-ons for this scheduling purpose, even if it's just for
fun :)
Thanks again.

How to manage members - not Slack
Considering using Groups.io Enterprise version....
Is it feasible to synch group members with another application that is not Slack???
How about bulk update/importing names, how does the Direct Add feature work? Does that work as a diff function? (Add new names, delete names not on import)

Duane,
You could add an event to the calendar and
have it send a notice at the scheduled time, but it would be
visible on the calendar before then.
Following this option, I wouldn't be able to create a poll, for
example, isn't it?
Actually, I forgot this detail. I want to schedule a poll, not a
simple post :) my bad, I should've added it.
You could also add a hashtag that is
moderated so that the post would need to be approved (at the
appropriate time) before posting
Hmmm, interesting. In this case, I would have to aprove my own
message, when I want it to be sent? Also, looks like this option
will only work in a period within 14 days, because if I'm not
going wrong, this is the max time for holding a message needing
aproval.
Cheers,

If you find Gmail's delayed send feature a bit difficult to use, they mention a plug-in for Gmail to make it easier. Boomerang is available for several platforms, even iOS and Android. There is a free basic version limited to 10 scheduled emails per month, which might be plenty enough for you. Otherwise, you can use the delay in Outlook or Gmail which is built-in. There used to be a program called Boomerang for Yahoo Mail but it is no longer supported or available. These are just a few ways to get an email sent at a later scheduled time. As far as I can tell, Yahoo doesn't have the feature built into their mail, even though they claim that their mail is the best and most fantastic email there is on the planet.

Thanks, Bruce. Yes, this crowd is primarily email only, so a poll is not going to work so well. The onus of recording is on whoever sent the original email, also. Editing the hashtag to reply-to-sender seems like the best plan, though I wish there was an automated way to detect this, so that if someone sends an email at one in the morning, someone doesn't have to be up to catch it before the responses happen.

Hi,
Is there a way of scheduling a post?
That is, I want to post something to my group, but I don't want to
post it immediately. Maybe later today or even any other day.
Just wondering if it's possible at all.
?
Thanks a lot, as always.
P.S.: Please, delete the other post with a similar message.
Somehow i managed to send it before finishing the email! :/

Re: Lock or Moderate on Hashtag
Glenn,
What I am wondering is if there an automated
way of handling this problem. For example, if a particular
hashtag, like #resolution or something was used, the thread would
be locked from the start. People could reply to the sender, but
not the group.
Donald's solution looks like the best approach for a case like this.
However, to do exactly what you want, you can create (or use a
previously created) a hashtag and edit it.
Editing the hashtag will have lots of options such as:
- Locked (any topic with this hashtag will be immediately locked)
- Moderated (any reply to this topic will need to be aproved by a
mod or an owner)
- Topic duration (you will be able to set a period for topics with
this hashtag and, after this period, decide whether they will be
locked or deleted)
...
Nonetheless, based on what you said,
People could reply to the sender, but not
the group.?
I'd think the more desired option in this case is the "Reply to".
With this option, any reply to any topic using this hashtag can be
sent to the sender, to the moderator, both to the sender and to
the group (...) depending on your choice.
Hope this helps :)

This may be a different way of approaching it, but how about creating a poll? The idea would be everyone interested would vote FOR (or YES) the proposed resolution or petition. You would either expect no opposers or just not count them since when signing a petition only those FOR the petition would sign it in the first place. /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/poll_creating_polls/17301634This may or may not work for you. I just thought of it but it may not be a solution that will give you what you're looking for.

Lock or Moderate on Hashtag
We have a group where people frequently submit resolutions or petitions to be signed. As one might imagine, each time this happens, it is followed by a slew of "me, too" posts from each list member indicating their desire to sponsor or sign on.
What I am wondering is if there an automated way of handling this problem. For example, if a particular hashtag, like #resolution or something was used, the thread would be locked from the start. People could reply to the sender, but not the group.
Thoughts and strategies welcome.
Best,
Glenn
