Re: Trouble with member trying to get back on a group with outlook.com

Sugar,

A few things come to mind.

I'm not sure how this works and whether it's applicable to your group, but if it's a group created with the limited-membership feature (after Feb-2021), could it be you've hit the limit?

Have you tried emailing her directly from your personal or the group-owner address?

Has she checked to make sure the emails are not going to her outlook.com spam/junk folder?? It's a new outlook account and maybe the spam filter is overly aggressive.? If there are groups.io emails in there, she needs to mark all of them as Not Junk and tell outlook to not put them there anymore.? IIRC Outlook will move them automatically into the inbox but if not, she needs to do that too, there should be no groups.io message left into the spam/junk folder.

Otherwise, if there are no groups.io messages in her junk folder, then it must be a typo somewhere, I don't know what else could cause this.

Cheers,
Christos

You don't say what the GMail or Outlook.com issues are so it's difficult to assess.? If she wants to change her GMail address to an Outrlook address, there should be no need 'to join again'.? Simply ask her to login with her GMail address and then view her account details and in the Login tab, change the email address. An email will be sent by Groups.io to the new address and she will need to respond to that. Once that is done, Groups.io will transfer all her subscription settings to the new address.? This is described in the Member's Manual at /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/setting-account-preferences-and-viewing-account-information

That is a email address domain, that is good for going to spam. Please check her spam folder.

I transferred 8 groups, I think, using the program you mentioned. It worked well
for me.

Contact the developer at Personal groupware about this. He may still have his
program available that can take saved group posts from PG offline to upload into
Groups.IO groups. I don't know what the cost is but when you figure the transfer
cost right before Yahoo Groups was closed down was about $220 or so, it would be
a bargain. (I think you can do the transfer from MBOX files but there would be a
fee if you have Mark do it.)

What I did was create subgroups for the Yahoo Archive in each group I uploaded
with his program. You could instead start with a new group, upload all your old
Yahoo messages, then open the group to new members. That would make the old
messages the oldest posts, followed by the new ones.

I made the subgroup open to anyone without the need to be approved (only members
of the main group can join a subgroup anyway, so they've already been vetted
previously). I also made the subgroup announce only so no one can post to it.

Hallo Alex,

I was given a .zip file of the download from Yahoo for a group we rescued.
It has the name 'groupname-yahoo-group-20191024T205025Z-001.zip
Extracted has a 'Files' folder plus several messages files like 'groupnamemessages30001-40000.txt'
Each message file is in the order of 50Mb and is a long continuous series of messages each starting with :

From DummyAddressAndDate Thu Sep 16 11:42:17 2010
X-Yahoo-Msgnum: 1
X-Digest-Num: 2
Message-ID: <106033.2.1.959270079@...>
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 11:27:44 +0100
From: xxxxx
Subject: xxxxxxx

and separated by a few blank lines.


I hope this helps.

OK,
Tony

Does anyone know what extension they/it would have, or what the default file name would be if my group's name was CNVC-trainers?
That info could help me find those/that file.

# PG-downloader will export to SQLLite dump, MySQL dump, plain text (pipe delimited HTML),?

Are any of those formats of any use for importing into a groups.io message archive?

Sure would appreciate any help with that.

Re: Deferred - tls: server selected unsupported protocol version 301 in Sent Invitations list #invitation

Speaking as a tech person who has to deal with customer tech people... sometimes the quickest way to fix this kind of issue is to raise it with the security officer (if they have one). The reason being, running only a deprecated protocol/cipher suite (and TLS 1.0 has been signposted for a looong time, so no excuses) can be construed as negligent. In the event of a malware/ransomware attack, this could be used as a get-out by the insurance company to reduce or avoid payouts. The security officer will (should) have a wider view of things beyond the technical and should have the power to get it sorted. The techs, to be fair, typically have a high workload and will regard what is a relatively low-risk 'hole' (generally it's the payload that's dangerous, not the delivery mechanism) as something get around to sometime. Or possibly, the only person who knows how to manage their mail gateway has moved on or been let go...

Perhaps as much to the point as the security aspect, is how much email is failing to be delivered - it will affect far more than Groups.io delivery... As Lena's hinted, it should be a fairly trivial exercise to update/configure the mail gateway in most cases.


Re: Deferred - tls: server selected unsupported protocol version 301 in Sent Invitations list #invitation

 

Thanks. I think I understand the problem now. Though I am not sure how I am going to explain to my Board member that she has to convince her tech people to update their system!


Re: Deferred - tls: server selected unsupported protocol version 301 in Sent Invitations list #invitation

 

OK, I think understand the problem. Now I just have to figure out how to explain to my Board member how to explain to usmd's tech people what the issue is and get them to care about it.

Thanks, everyone!


Re: Deferred - tls: server selected unsupported protocol version 301 in Sent Invitations list #invitation

 

I'd say both sides are guilty:
usmd.edu supports only old version TLSv1.0 nowadays considered "insecure";
groups.io refuses to use TLSv1.0 and doesn't fall back to unencrypted connection (unreasonable in my opinion).

When I set up my personal mailserver, I compile openssl (last version, supports TLSv1.3;
I upgrade as soon as a new version becomes available) with TLSv1.0 and SSLv3 enabled too.
I know that those versions are considered obsolete and insecure, but using them is better than
falling back to unencrypted. And falling back to unencrypted is better than refusing an incoming message.


Re: Deferred - tls: server selected unsupported protocol version 301 in Sent Invitations list #invitation

 

For what it's worth, the did not work for me yesterday when I tried after reading this thread.? It does work today.? Perhaps the issue reported was? caused by problems on their website.

Re: Monitor Participation

 

Hi

I thought it might be useful to show you what my group members receive. This is for my small family group.
My message is a short how-to and GROUPNAME stands for the actual name of my group. But you can do whatever you wish.


Monthly Reminder ?#monthly-notice?
?
Group Notification <noreply@...> 8:30am ? #4504 ?
?
Hello family,
?
A few reminders.
?
This is a private group for ShXXXX family members and all members can post and reply to messages, either by email or online.
The email address is:
?
Logging into the group homepage is necessary to post or view messages online, to see our files and to make subscription changes.
https://GROUPNAME.groups.io
?
You do not have to set up a password, but you can if you wish. You can just click on Email me a link to log in or click on the link on our group homepage. After you log in to your Groups.io account on a particular device or browser, you stay logged in for at least 30 days.?
The login period is managed by a cookie stored in your browser on that device.
?
See this page for more information?
?
We have a couple of interesting files on the group homepage - a ShXXXX medical document and our family tree. Thanks to Paul and David for maintaining them.
?
To change your email address, see this Help page.
To change your email subscription preferences, see this Help page.
?
EXXX and I are "owners" of the group and can help if necessary.
You can email us at our normal address or at this special one: [email protected]
?
Cheers,
?

I think there is an error somewhere for sure!

I just set up a monthly reminder for a group. There was no email saying that it had been set up.?
And yes, you can see if the announcement went out - in Activity.
It says: ?The monthly reminder email "Monthly Reminder #monthly-notice" was sent to the group, via system.

Did you write up a monthly reminder with text? Look at it now and see what's in the body of the email that will be sent out.
And are both message active and special message both ticked.

You said you deleted the Welcome message. Not sure why, but my point - did you delete the wrong one?
I hope you checked out this help page: ?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-member-notices/monthly-reminder-notice

And I assume when you created the monthly reminder, you chose the Monthly Reminder notice. You can see - that is the label.

Re: Monitor Participation

 

This is interesting - I need to clarify a little more of what I see - i did infact receive emails for both the "special message" and the "monthly reminder" in my email inbox, saying that they have been set up having ticked both boxes (special message & active). Good so far I suppose, but no actual messages to see just announcement of the messages being set up.
These announcement of messages - whilst present in emails do not show on the group messages page either.
So on the group page itself there is no way of knowing whether any messages/announcements have been sent out. All we have is the announcements in the emails and no actual messages - barry


Re: Monitor Participation

 

My groups are legacy enabled and the monthly reminder went through. So no.?

When did you set up the monthly reminder? How long ago? Maybe you just missed it for this month if you were doing it too late.?
