Description:

This is your monthly subscription reminder for the Group Managers Forum. We are glad you joined our group.

• Our GMF Group's web resources are open and public. Our Messages archives and Wiki are viewable and searchable by non-members. GMF message archives are indexed by major search engines. Unfortunately, due to Groups.io restrictions, you must be a member of GMF and logged in to access our Files and Photos sections.

• We expect members to post and act responsibly. Please respect your fellow members' time and attention: strive to be clear, concise and courteous. Our subject matter naturally includes matters of opinion; if you happen to disagree with another member please do so without being rude. Personal attacks are not allowed. Solicitations are off topic and will be deleted without comment. Listing your groups in your signature is perfectly acceptable, but just make sure there's also on-topic content in your post.

• Attachments are allowed and the judicious use of screen shots and other illustrations is encouraged!

• All messages sent to GMF are moderated. This is done to avoid malicious attachments, spam, off-topic messages, and messages from spoofed or compromised mail accounts. Despite these measures, be aware that the bad guys are clever so there's no guarantee that we'll always succeed; you are encouraged to be vigilant against any and all threats arriving via email. Your GMF moderators make no guarantees regarding the safety of emails arriving from this or any other Groups.io address.

• We are always looking for suggestions from our members to make this group better for all. Feel free to address any questions, comments, or concerns directly to the group moderators via email to [email protected].

GMF Mission Statement:

We strive to be a resource of the highest quality for owners and moderators of Groups.io groups. We allow as much information as possible from our group to be accessed by visitors! Would you like to be a better Groups.io group owner and/or moderator? Would you like to see even more improvements in Groups.io groups? We discuss our experiences as both group owners and moderators, share ideas for promoting and customizing the content areas, and offer various techniques for managing groups.

To send a message to the members of this group, simply send email to [email protected].

GMF is at times very busy. To substantially cut down on the email clutter see Subscription Options. In particular, Following Only, First Message Also, and Auto Follow Replies work well together to focus only on topics of interest to you.

I agree it appears odd on the surface, but in fact it makes total sense. By marking a legitimate mailing list message as spam, you've essentially told Yahoo that you don't want receive any more "messages like this." Yahoo in turn informs groups.io, who dutifully complies with the request and removes you.

See??for more details.

I did, in fact look that the Onwers Manual, as well as the Members Manual, but the sections on handling spam didn't answer my quesitons.

thanks again

Yes, but that's the way many email services are set up.? Some, I think Yahoo is one, even tell members to mark things as spam if it's from a list they don't want to be on any more.

The majority of online email providers (including Yahoo) have the Delete and Spam/Junk button right next to each other so it's easy for someone to accidentally hit the latter when they meant to just delete the message.? So make sure to tell that person to check their spam/junk folder and if they see a message from groups.io there to mark it as not-spam/junk.

Cheers,
Christos

Thanks Duane.? ?

Sorry to be poorly informed, but if I understand you correctly, if someone sees something they think is SPAM and clicks a button to that effect, they (not the spammer) get's removed?? If that's the case it sure sounds odd to me.

Someone (you) posted the message, the person that received it marked it as spam, and they were removed from the group.? (Note that they marked it as spam, not that it necessarily was.)? They would have received a followup email letting them know and there's a link in it to resume membership.? If they did that before you looked, they'd still show as a member.? All covered in the site FAQ.

Hi,? I recieved an email that a member of my group was removed from the group due to SPAM.? However, the email I got referenced? a message with title "hello and Introduction" which is my welciome message to new members.?
Here's the email I got....

This is to notify you that wolfganggries@... has been unsubscribed from your group [email protected] because message Hello and introduction! was marked as spam. Note that this may have been done by their email service provider, not by the individual member personally. They've been given a link that lets them quickly resubscribe, in case this was an error.

If you have any questions, please visit our help center.

When I checked the "activity" in the group,? I see is this......



When I look at message #1788, (below) there is noting SPAM like in it and the Poster is not the person mentioned in the emial I got.



I'm very confused here.? Who posted the culprit message?? Who reported it as SPAM?? and who was removed from the group.?

the "Wolfgang...." email does not show up in my members list
"Sanja Kelly" still shows up as a member

That's normal for anyone with an email address on a service that uses DMARC.? It also adds "via groups.io" as you can see.? Using the normal reply button in the email avoids this because the Reply-To: header has the real email address.

Hello,

I have had a few members' email addresses have the "@" sign replaced by an "=" sign. It has happened to various domains (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc).?

A thread has been going on for a few weeks, and then randomly, a member sends a reply, and a bounce back email states that it is undeliverable and reveals the member's address in the error message as having an = sign rather than an @ sign. (e.g., username=yahoo.com)

The reply address displayed in the reply email is:?"User Name - Title via groups.io" <username@...>

Could you elaborate a bit?? I'm not quite understanding what you're asking.

Actually, there are at least two for automatic closing.? 7 years ago.? It was even added to the , back when Mark was using that as a note pad.

I haven't tried it and I don't know, but in some other situations as in coding when setting the caption or label for a control, if one is adding a single & and it doesn't show or it shows up as an underline, usually adding it inline twice as in && will fix that.

Cheers,

I think I will not bother adding this to the earlier request, because that request was from the previous owner of my group. Therefore, only one of the myriad groups appears to want the feature. Thank you for the the response.

Is there a way to import value for a multi-select field. Only importing first value.

What is the correct way to have an ampersand appear in a data field name, prompt, response, or content?
