Does the automated transfer process have a way to translate underscores in the name to something else?You have to create the new group before you can initiate a transfer, so this issue with acceptable characters should be encountered upon group creation and has no bearing on the transfer agent. I suspect the underscore restriction has something to do with the subdomain addressing that one encounters in groups.io when creating subgroups. Y!G has no subgroups. Bruce |

Re: How long does it take to transfer
The transfer itself does not take long, but there is a waiting list, so it won't be done immediately. As best I can tell, groups are being transferred in order of request. Last I heard the queue was running around 2-3 days...AFTER you accept the transfer agent as a group Moderator and send notification that you're ready.
Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: Transferring member emails and archived messages
Ken,
I have just established a new Group and want to transfer the archived messages and member emails from my old Yahoo Group to the new Groups.io group. Not sure how to do this. ?

Re: Can you move messages but not members?
If the members aren't moved first, the messages cannot be linked to any existing member accounts, and will instead be linked to the group owner. Generally speaking it's unlikely that's what your group members will want.
The same goes for files and photos and all other group content. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: Disappearing highlighting
There are some group and member settings that might bear on this. Hopefully others have played with these settings enough that they know more about what they do than I currently do.
Group settings...check Admin->Settings->Message Formatting. Normalize HTML emails will strip colors and such. Force HTML emails will make sure it's sent out as HTML but this might not be too friendly to some email clients. Leaving both unclicked should forward whatever is received, at least to those receiving Individual Messages (more on that below). Plain text only will strip all formatting.?Pick your poison. Now click on the "Subscription" tab for your individual preferences, which contains personalized settings. "Individual emails" should receive whatever the group settings recommend. I believe the full featured digest setting is kinda like "normalize HTML emails" in that it will preserve fonts and size but strip colors, CSS, etc. Plain digest is [probably] like plain text only. I don't know about the daily summary. The good thing about some of these plain text formats is that they contain no active hyperlinks and are thus less likely to be flagged as malicious/spam. What to do depends on what you want it to do, which was not explicit in your inquiry. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: SPF, Groups.io and Office365 Exchange Online
#split
Lawrence,
Is it worth those of us who have control over our domains, have SPF set up for our mail hosts, I think that is always worthwhile. I'm a little surprised that your mail ever reaches anyone's inbox if your domain's DNS entries don't have SPF records listing
your mail server(s). If you are contracting with a provider for custom domain email service they probably took care of this for you. ? and who send a fair amount of mail via adding an SPF include record for ? This I don't think is needed nor a good idea. Groups.io publishes SPF records for its outbound servers, and it is the "envelope from" that inbound services ought to be testing against. That is, SPF applies to the actual sender (the connecting server) not to the domain in the header From field. Just worrying that at some point emails will start being bounced, junked or blocked.? That may happen as a result of DMARC testing - which has the added requirement that the header From field's domain "align with" (match) the envelope from's. That's been a major bug-a-boo with email list services. Groups.io has a work-around for the DMARC problem, which you will notice in action on the From addresses of messages from certain email services (including Yahoo Mail and AOL most prominently): the addresses are re-written so that they are (header) From Groups.io as well as being envelope From Groups.io. This was necessary because those outbound services specify a DMARC policy of "reject". Posting here as searching the Help Center for SPF returns zero results, and newest comments on SPF in here seem to be quite a while ago.? SPF is really an infrastructure mechanism that most email users need never know or care about. But mail server admins definitely need to know about.
