Re: Bouncing due to a message from GMF!
Ken,
If someone is on a number of very busy lists, this would seem to makeCorrect, in the sense that each message sent is an opportunity for the receiving service to reject ("bounce") one of the messages. In the case of yesterday's Gmail problem, someone whose group subscriptions sent no messages during the affected interval would not have been put on Bouncing status. But the message logged shows an explanation that clearly say the issue isFor that circumstance, yes. Several months ago Mark implemented means to regulate how many simultaneous connections Groups.io forms to any given service, and IIRC how many messages to deliver during each connection. So it should be a matter of tuning those parameters to suit the limitations of a given service, while working with the service to increase what they allow if their limits are causing noticeable message delay. Setting a number of members to bouncing is only a temporary and poor fix asSetting the individual accounts to bouncing is not intended as a fix - it is a response to the service's rejection of messages. If there's a large number of rejections from a given service what has to happen from there is an investigation into the underlying cause, hopefully with the cooperation of that service. In the case of Gmail yesterday the cause appears to have been a temporary failure of their email servers to recognize valid destination addresses. There was also yesterday a listing by SORBS (a blacklist service) of one of Groups.io's outbound servers as being a spam source []. That may have caused some email services to start rejecting messages from Groups.io rather than simply diverting them to the member's Spam folder. Shal |

Re: Bouncing due to a message from GMF!
Shal,
If someone is on a number of very busy lists, this would seem to make bouncing more likely due to the amount of traffic going to one account. At least I think that's the issue for many of us Spectrum/Charter users. But the message logged shows an explanation that clearly say the issue is Groups.io is sending or connecting too many times and needs to throttle back. It would serve as a clue that would impact many members as I guess the threshold is for all of Groups.io mail servers talking to the Spectrum/Charter mail servers. I hope the solution they are working on is taking that into account. Setting a number of members to bouncing is only a temporary and poor fix as that reduces the continuing traffic from GIO to Spectrum/Charter. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Seems Spectrum/Charter is tripping again
The digest this morning is paced with email service providers TRIPPING.
Just out of a strange coincidence today makes the END of Yahoo Groups for good.? With that stated, in the past 3-days I've blanketed our old 4 groups over there with messages to join up here at GIO. I've been very surprised to see a significant jump in membership once again. When all this TRIPPING gets sorted out, I'm hoping for a few late comers to join GIO as well. BMaverick ? |

configuring reply emails
#email
#reply-to-group
Hi all? - i have had a request that that when a member hits reply it replies directly to the individual sender of the group email not to the group as a whole. As an example - sent to group, i'm selling shoes, and the replies go to the whole group as opposed to just the shoe seller. How can I change the default settings so that my responding emailer hits reply and it goes to just the original poster and not the group.?
thank you -- Kitty |

Re: Bouncing due to a message from GMF!
Janet,
It was not the gmail problem from yesterday as the list of my accountsThere definitely was an event yesterday afternoon, 2 to 4 pm Pacific (22:00 to 24:00 UTC) which put a couple hundred GMF members who use Gmail, myself included, into Bouncing status. Gmail was reporting that those addresses did not exist. Mark reported in beta that the issue was not only site-wide, but was affecting many other email services as well. I haven't posted messages to some of those in months niow and yet theyYou posting isn't the trigger. The trigger for the Bouncing status is whether Groups.io (any group) tried to send a message /to/ you. It stands to reason that the more active a group was during that period, the more likely that group would be the one cited as causing your email address to go to Bouncing status.

If you uncheck the "Allow Nonmembers to Post" setting, these messages won't go into the pending queue.? You'd need to decide which is more important.

Bouncing due to a message from GMF!
Interesting one - for the first time in a couple of years using groups.io, I got the message "Your Groups.io Account Is Bouncing".
I immediately used the un-bounce link, and then checked the groups of which I am and owner or a member, and the one that triggered the bounce condition was GMF, probably as a result of a message sent while gmail was out of action yesterday (which made it look like the e-mail account no longer existed). I joined GMF to learn more about groups.io and its administration, but did not expect practical tests as part of membership! Tim Mitchell. |
