Thanks everyone for the help!? I agree that Zoho should be a bit more lenient on time being off by less than a minute.? I have engaged them again on this and await their response.

Linda,

As a owner/moderator, If I send a private message to a member via the
group, is there a history of it somewhere?

No. Currently your only option is to check one of the BCC boxes below the message composition box.

Can I search a members name for messages within the group ...

No. The message search currently includes only the message body, not the sender's Display Name, User Name, or Email Address.

... or only once I have located them in the member directory?

In the Messages section, if you find one of their messages you can find the rest by selecting "All Posts By This Member" from the More menu.

Toby,

I agree that both footers should provide the same links (odd that they
do not).

The reason is that the Reply To Group and Reply To Sender URLs are particularly long and ugly. For example:

mailto:toby@...?subject=Private:%20Re:%20Re%3A%20%5BGMF%5D%20Footer%20Links

And that's with a short Subject line (this topic) with a lengthier Subject it gets longer accordingly.

It is almost tolerable if the email interface linkifies it for you, but many interfaces which will linkify http: URLs don't linkify mailto: URLs.

Back on Y!, in a group that didn't permit attachments, messages with no plain

posted.

How does Groups.io handle message posting in groups that don't permit
attachments?

I have set my group to "Plain Text Only" and Attachments - Strip. Groups.io converts HTML-only messages to plain text.

In spite of being misspelled, what does this mean?

Seperate Message Footers
Place message footers in a separate MIME part.

MIME is the standard for encoding non-text attachments (images, videos, etc.) to emails, which are text.

Best,

Heijo,

Another way to approach this problem is: what are the criteria for io to decide if the yahoogroup name I enter for a transfer is valid or not? Are these criteria detailed somewhere?

I don't think so. The key is that it must be the "name" of a Yahoo Group. Specifically, the text you put into the Web Address and/or Group Email field on the About Group tab of the Y!Group's Control Panel. Not including any of the grey text outside those boxes:

Is this group name field case-sensitive?

I don't know, but if you copy from the field in the Y!Group's control panel you can't go wrong. I think.

If that still doesn't work, then I think you have a case you need to take to [email protected] to resolve.

Toani,

As a native Spanish speaker, I would love to help groups.io be
available in other languages.

The question of localizing Groups.io for other languages has been discussed in beta (the official "suggestion box"). My impression is that any action in that direction is likely a long way off.


No harm in you adding your two cents to that topic.

David,

What you are proposing is a discussion group afaics, but more
complicated. It would also be open to spamming I imagine.

The messages coming in through the integration can be moderated to prevent spamming; just as ordinary group messages can be.

For the other people it is simpler than a discussion group: they didn't have to join anything nor deal with extraneous messages (announcements about others). And it isn't that much more complicated for you - set up the integration and after that the group operates in a normal fashion.

The key distinction, over what you're doing, is that the others initiate the messages - which may be a bad thing if you prefer acting as curator and author of the announcements.

Thanks, I emailed my service provider. It is telus in British Columbia Canada.

Cathy (Termi)

Termi,

/What do these mean? Who is the sender that rejected these?/
...
/I did not get these messages. Is it my isp that rejected them?/

It was your email service provider (which may or may not be the same as your internet service provider) who rejected Groups.io as a sender.

I don't see any clue as to why. It looks like another unfortunate case of a generic failure code and message where a specific one would be more helpful.

Except that last one:

Jun 24 cloudy stripes 4.2.2 smtp; 452 4.2.2 Over quota

But it was a temporary error (4xy code) anyway, you should have received that message, but perhaps late.

Jeff,

That is why I am wondering if something changed with groups.io.

I would have said no, but now that you've dug up the actual source of the problem, I'll say maybe.

It was working great until the end of May. I own 2 active groups.io
lists and 1 that I use for testing features. This happened in both
groups at the same time.

Which could have been when the time discrepancy crept in, or it could be when Zoho added that test to their processing.

Is there a way to get a more complete bounce message with headers
rather than the short version in the Email Delivery History? That is
what Zoho is asking me for.

Not that I know of. You could ask support, but I think that may be a moot question for this incident.

The error code and message are supposed to be enough. If Zoho is using a generic code and text, the elaborating elsewhere in the body of the failure notice then I think that's kind of on them.

Lena,

DKIM signatures don't contain dates.

Actually they do contain a timestamp. In this case t=1531244118; which is GMT: Tuesday, July 10, 2018 5:35:18 PM -- 18 seconds ahead of the Received field, as advertised.

Looking at your message I have t=1531269237; aka GMT: Wednesday, July 11, 2018 12:33:57 AM; and Gmail's Received from Groups.io is Tue, 10 Jul 2018 17:33:38 -0700 (PDT). Nineteen seconds ahead. I doubt Gmail's servers are off, so I'm going to CC support on this one.

Zoho can be faulted for that confusing minus sign though ("-18 seconds in the future"). And for one of the more picayune reasons to bounce a message I've heard of. But a sanity check is a sanity check I suppose.
I wonder if they have any tolerance on that - would one second in the future also cause a bounce?

As a owner/moderator, If I send a private message to a member via the group, is there a history of it somewhere? (If i give them a warning does it show up anywhere or is the only way to also add a note)

?

Can I search a members name for messages within the group or only once I have located them in the member directory?? If I search members and then put the members e-mail address I can search all of their postings but if I am in the main message board and search using their e-mail address all of their e-mails do not show up.

The longest delay in the process is waiting for the transfer agent to accept your invitation. It is a manual step that requires solving a CAPTCHA.

At times, the Yahoo transfer queue has been as much as three weeks deep.

I can attest to a wait of about that long for two of my groups. Probably because groups are fleeing Y! like there's no tomorrow... as well as elsewhere. All I can say is that it was well worth the wait.

Netzero inserts ads in both incoming and outgoing mail. Customers cannot turn them off without paying for a service upgrade.?

See??

I don't have any such subscribers in my group so I can't speak to what could be done to strip the ads.

DKIM signatures don't contain dates. "Date" is among header lines DKIM-signed. I compared Date in a digest from groups.io with time in Received added by my personal mail server (with synchronized clock - I checked) - OK. In your header:

Received: from web01.groups.io (web01.groups.io [66.175.222.12]) by mx.zohomail.com
? ? with SMTPS id 1531244100222185.37727506897534; Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:35:00 -0700 (PDT)

Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:35:04 -0700

X-ZohoMail-DKIM: fail (Signature date is -18 seconds in the future.)

Therefore, it's time in ZohoMail server which is off.

Assuming you have read the link that I provided you previously (here it is again just in case?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/6662).

When you pull down your group name from the "In Process" list, look for a notice at the top of the resulting page. It should say something to the effect that "We have received your invitation and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invitation."

And so the long wait begins. This is on the premise that Yahoo is working and your invitation actually went out.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
