Re: Spamfilter
Peter,
I think it boils down to Google Groups being "too big to block", even if it were to get a slightly bad reputation for forwarding spam. Groups.io isn't that well known by the major mailbox providers, and must keep its reputation as clean as it can in order to help ensure that its messages get through to group members. Also, even if deliverability were not a daily battle, I think Mark takes a personal interest in running a spam-free service.

Re: Trying to delete only 1 attachment in a moderate message
Ilene,
?

Since the attachments have individual checkboxes I concur with J_Catlady that this is a bug, not a feature suggestion (the feature is present, but not working).
It can take a few days, or longer, for Mark to respond. He tends not to reply until he's fixed the problem, unless he has questions about it. This seems too clear for him to have questions, so you may not get a personal response until it is fixed.

Re: Integration to Archive to GitHub?

Christopher -- The existing GitHub integration sends a notification to your GIO group when code is committed to the repository. I don't believe there currently exists any function to send information in the opposite direction. Others who actually use the integration will have to provide further guidance.

Re: Messages Going Missing

I'm new to Groups.io and I manage two groups.? We have had issues with a) people sending emails and these messages not showing up under "messages" in the group and b) group members not getting emailed when new messages are sent.? This happens in both of the groups I manage (some people are members of both).??These are very broad questions with no simple answer. The most common source of the first problem is user error, meaning incorrect message addressing. The proper address at which to post messages can be found among the Group Email Addresses on the home page of each group/subgroup (look under "Post"). Note also there was some groups.io system downtime over the weekend. A handful of users may have attempted to post during that downtime. I believe groups.io was bouncing messages then, but a few may have landed in the bit-bucket. ? The most common cause of the second problem is some sort of intervention or downtime by the subscriber's email provider. Go to Admin>Members and select Bouncing from the blue pull-down menu. Much information on groups.io bounce handling can be found at /static/help#bouncing? Now open a subscriber's user record (click on it). At the top of the resulting page is a button labeled "Email Delivery History." A click on that button should give you some idea of whether there have been any other kinds of message delivery problems. Note that even if delivered, group messages may subsequently be diverted to the subscriber's spam or junk email folders. The only way to determine if that has happened is to have the subscriber open those folders on his end and look. Having said all that, these are only the most common sources, and may not apply to your situation. Any information you can provide to narrow the scope will help us to provide a better response.

Integration to Archive to GitHub?
#integration
#archive
#open-source
#transparency
#git
We are an open source project considering groups.io, but because we work within the W3C intellectual property policy, we have a requirement that all of our conversations, chats, etc. are publicly archived. Currently these are archived into GitHub. Are there any integrations of groups.io to save any group contents to git or GitHub? -- Christopher Allen ¡ª co-author TLS 1.0, co-chair W3C Credentials CG, founder #RebootingWebOfTrust, maintainer numerous open source projects |

Calendar reminders no longer controlled by group moderation setting
#cal-reminder
Please note that Mark has reverted the way integrations and system-generated messages (like calendar reminders) are handled. For those whose groups are moderated, you should find that these messages are no longer stuck in moderation, requiring individual approval.
Ref:??? Those who prefer that such messages also be moderated can edit the corresponding hashtag/integration to force that behavior. FYI, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Might be the same as 'New Users Moderated', but would like to disable spam control - might require development by groups.io for this ?That's correct...and this was vetted very thoroughly when these spam controls were first implemented. A moderator's duties in groups.io involves some minimal initial review of member behavior. Each subscriber must either be reviewed at the time he applies for membership, or his first message must be reviewed when it posts. A Spam Control setting that would allow someone to join your group and immediately post something without moderation is no spam control at all. ?
