Is it possible to send a bulk query email to all members that have Delivery = "No Email"?

Another criteria would exclude anyone who has logged into the site recently (i.e. based on a login timestamp).

I'm aware of Bulk Remove for doing the removal - I just need a way to create the list of email addresses.

Thanks!

From the Pricing page:
"If you are legally recognized as a non-profit organization, we offer a 50% discount on our Enterprise plan. When upgrading your group, select the non-profit discount. Also, please contact us so we can verify your non-profit status."

I changed it from bounced to stripped and that worked. I have POP accounts, no Mime. I can¡¯t find any settings that would produce attachments out of thin air.

Thank you for the article ¡ª I see the icons for encrypted but had no idea what they are. I¡¯ve been using mail for 20+ years but they do keep adding things.

Mark did not use the term "large non-profits." He is specifically giving a discount on the enterprise plan to non-profits. (I assume he means 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4), but that's not clear.)

Oops; something sent a reply before it was finished. (Sorry)

The problem might be down to a difference in Settings > Message Formatting.

Attachments can be (a) Allowed (b) Bounced (c) Stripped (d) Moderated. Your current problem suggests that your "problem group" is set to Bounce.

I think it is necessary to define what exactly is meant by "non - profit". A hobby - based group is almost certainly going to be "non - profit", but its value is limited to the adherents of the hobby. OTOH a group might have wide - scale humanitarian aid as its ethos; in that case there is a clear (even if only potential) benefit well outside just those who are members of the group.

For a member to pay 5cents annually should not be a great hardship.
It's 5 cents a month or 55 annually

and I assume that most listowners would consider paying the entire invoice themselves rather than chasing over a hundred subscribers for 55 cent each

Mod's note - same attachment to this email. I deleted it. Likely it is a file associated with encryption for a signature.

I have several committee groups in Groups.io for my non-profit organization. I didn't ask for a discount, because free is even better. We don't want or need a high profile site with all the bells and whistles of the enterprise plan. We don't need our own branding, for example. I am grateful to be able to have these groups to make everything work better. I was lucky - an early adopter. And of course, anything you have now, you are protected as legacy enabled (i.e. grandfathered).

Russell, as the moderator noted on your post, the place to critique Mark's pricing is on the beta group.

However, as I said, based on my read of Mark's announcement - it is what it is.

That appears to be a suggestion that anything I want for "dreams and joy" should be given to me without costing me anything. I look forward to getting a free Ferrari or possibly a Lamborghini sometime...

I haven¡¯t been able to send to one of my groups since Wednesday, possibly Tuesday. My messages are returned because the list doesn¡¯t accept attachments. But there are no attachments on message.

I had originally replied to a messages so I opened a new messages and retyped it fresh. Same result.

I tried writing in TextEdit and had the same problem when I pasted it into a message.

Using MacBook Pro, OS 11.1, Apple Mail. The problem may have started when I installed the 11.1 update.

Anyone else having this problem or heard of it?
