Re: "Reply All" and "cc" issues

A member of my group recently sent an email message to someone not in our group, and cc-ed the message to our group, using our full groups.io address (something he has repeatedly been told not to do, but he persists!).In my groups(s), behavior along these lines will get someone placed on permanent moderation, and possibly banned. The recipient replied using "Reply All", resulting in his reply being received by everyone in our group, even though the sender isn't in our group, and is not therefore authorised to post to our group. Not only that: all subsequent "Reply All" exchanges between group and non-group recipients were sent to everyone in our group. I didn't realize this was possible.You can keep non-members from posting to your group. See Admin>Settings>Message Policies, first checkbox. Uncheck the box and non-member messages will be rejected. This setting will not keep people who are already members from CC-ing the group when sending a message/reply to a non-member. But again, if you place such people on moderation then you can head off the side conversations before everything goes haywire. Bruce |

This has raised security issues for us, which we clearly need to address internally. In the meantime I'd be grateful if someone on this forum could advise if it is possible to change the settings for our group to ensure we don't experience a similar breach in the future.Unfortunately, you have no control over someone's email program.?

Instead of periods to force the image display, replace each period with this text:

Minor change to activity log -- moderation entries
On January 3, activity log entries changed slightly...it now gives a reason why each post goes into moderation.
For example, corresponding log entries in GMF now say "requires approval because the group is moderated." I guess we can assume if a message went into moderation for some other reason (e.g.: a hashtag setting, a subscriber's posting override, non-member sent the message, etc.) the entry would reflect that. ?
I do like this change but don't see any mention of it in beta.
?
FYI,
Bruce

Re: Moderator can't View Member List

Hi Janel,

Just a guess - has the user logged out and logged in again since you made him moderator? I can imagine that the moderator settings only become effective after a fresh login.

Moderator can't View Member List
#moderators
Good morning -
I changed one of my group members to moderator in order to help manage the group if I'm not available.? A request from a new person came through to join the group but when he clicks on the "View Member List" in order to approve them, he receives an error message that he doesn't have permission to view members.? I've tried with a few different requests in case it was a glitch but he still can't view the member list in order to approve/reject a request.? His permissions are set as follows: Does anyone know why he can't view the member list?? Is there another setting I need to look at or modify? Thank you! |
