There is no space - just an underscore being obscured by the link underlining.

Re: groups.io will not accept a group's member's e.mail forward from gmail

 

The "alias" did not work!

This is the message log now for each attempt for gmail account mhcgfx1b9j to forward to [email protected]:

Non-member mhcgfx1b9j+caf_=p7j3q9k5=groups.io@... attempted to send message "Find Deals Near You With Your Twigby Discount Program" via email

And the member?is clearly there:

???? Mom ??? mhcgfx1b9j@... ??? No Email ??? Sep 7

And the alias is:

Aliases ??? mhcgfx1b9j+caf_@...

So the alias is in place and the member is correct but email forwarded from mhcgfx1b9j@... is STILL not being accepted and distributed to the group.

What next?

As I have repeatedly said, many other groups.io I have created in the past have never had this problem with forwarding from a gmail member AND never needed an "alias".

I'm at Witt's End!

I dont think that will work because the actual gmail is NOTmhcgfx1b9j+caf_ so when the groups.io add confirmation goes out to mhcgfx1b9j+caf_ that doesnt exist!

True -if added to the group as a separate account-, but if you had a paid*** group you could direct-add her so no confirmation email would be sent out. (*** or setup an integration as Bruce mentioned)

But the alias part is no worry, there are no confirmation emails sent to an alias since it's not a regular account but just a nickname, so no group emails or whatnot will ever go to that alias. Aliases just allow someone to post something from a different email address but when posted it looks like it came from the main address, not the alias. All group messages (if this account was setup to receive them) would go to the main address, not the alias.


I dont know how to create an alias. I did some searching but didnt find it.

That info would be in the User manual, not the Owner manual, it's in here. You need to be logged in as her, go to the upper right of screen where the account settings are, all the way down click on Aliases, add the address and save.

Cheers,
Christos

I have a similar situation. Our main group ["general members"] is on the Premium plan - mainly just to support this platform - while the BOD group is Basic. Whenever we have our annual election results, I remove the outgoing board members from the BOD group and send the incoming ones an invitation.
?
If your member notices of type Removed Member and Invite are set up properly in the leadership group then these activities pretty much explain themselves. However, the incoming board members do have to opt in and click the link, which sometimes requires a little hand-holding.
?
Hope this helps,
Bruce

The groups would be separate entities and there's no single action you can take that would transfer a member from one group to another.? As an Owner, you can always remove a member from a group. If you have a Premium group, you can Direct Add a member to that, otherwise, you would be limited to sending them an invite and waiting for them to respond.

I don't understand what you mean by this.

If I switch am I going to get a lot of questions/objections about it?
Unlikely, since most of the messages you're getting right now are already in html.?

Footers

 

Messages to my list have two different footers:

Groups.io Links:
You receive all messages sent to this group.
View/Reply Online (#143771) | Reply To Group | Reply To Sender | Mute This Topic | New Topic
To join, send a blank email message to: [email protected] from the email account where you want to receive messages.Your Subscription | Contact Group Owner | Unsubscribe [sharon@...]


Most of them have the top footer but then one will come through with the second. I confuses people who are trying to Reply To Sender and it isn¡¯t available.

Well, modifying settings sounds like looking for something under Mail/Preferences. But confess I do not see an HTML vs. Text choice anywhere. Where would I find such a thing in Mac Mail? Any help would be appreciated.

Your previous messages said she was trying to write to just one member. You wrote: "after the group is closed with Announcements Only, she still can't give a reply to someone in the group. It turns into a Private Message to her private email. It didn't use to be that way."
?
Can your member please tell us exactly what she does?
When I go to my test announcement group, I open a message from another member. I click to reply. The To automatically changes to Sender - i.e. the member who wrote the message.
And it goes through Groups.io. I can see it in Activity.
?
There is another way to write to an individual member and that is using Message in the User Details page, scroll to the bottom.
?
I don't see how it flips to her personal email, out of Groups.io. ?Since it is the weekend coming up, perhaps she can test emailing you from the group and make a list of the steps she takes.

When the group is set to Announcement Only, you can't reply to someone on the group.? A mod can post or reply to the group, but not reply to an individual's message.

The settings of each user make a big difference,
both in the email service they use and in the?
settings of the group they access on Groups.io.

In either case, if the user configures to send
and/or receive messages in "text mode" instead
of "html", the embedded images will become?
attachments. The same thing happens if the?
group owner configures it to "text mode".

This is because you cannot insert images?
into text when you are in "Text Mode".?

Different people may get different results?
when using the same group message?
because of the differences in their settings.
