Member directory
Members are having a issue with viewing directory of users. Is it a Mac issue?
Dain Mod's note: screenshot removed since it has the group name plus photos and names of group members. The screenshot was trying to show, I believe, that only a few members of the group are listed in the Directory. |

If you can still receive special notices when you have selected No Email, what purpose does the Special Notices Only setting serve?Looks like an error in the docs. To my knowledge No Email subscribers do not receive Special Notices. A group Owner/Moderator can send a message to a No Email subscriber via the Member List. System messages like "your account is bouncing" or "you've been removed for marking a message as spam," and a handful of the Member Notices (Welcome, Removed Member, etc) will also arrive regardless of the subscription setting. But these are all private messages, not group messages. Bruce? Check out the new groups.io Help Center? ? ?See also the groups.io Owners Manual |

Hi,
In the new member's manual, the section regarding email delivery options states:
If you can still receive special notices when you have selected No Email, what purpose does the Special Notices Only setting serve? |

Is there a way to sort the member list by their Email Domain Name?No.? If I need to find those on a particular domain, I do a search for it in the member list.? In the results, only those using the domain will show up.? Then I can click on them to get to their record to check email delivery, then use the back button on the browser a couple of times to get back to the list.? I could also right click on each line and open it in a new tab, then check each of them. Duane -- GMF's Unofficial Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Official Help: /helpcenter |

Is Welcome Notice message sent to members added via Direct Add?
I did a quick search of the messages on this group but didn't see this addressed.
If I add a new member by "Direct Add"ing them, will they receive the Welcome Notice message?? Or only the "Direct Add" notice message, assuming I've created one. Thanks, Doug |

Re: Yahoo blocking groups io email?
#email
Why this happens (all the [censored] time!)
A copy-and-paste from (There are other places on the internet that explain this recurring problem. This explanation was chosen at random from a selection of good choices).? Issue: IP Addresses From Gmail, Yahoo, Etc. Are Getting Blocked
The Problem:?Spam filters appear to be blocking mail being sent from gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook.com, etc. ?The error message sent back to the sender usually says something like this:?
?
Why This Is Happening:?Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com, etc. offer free email accounts to the public. ?This is a magnet for spammers. ?They sign up for free accounts or they hack into existing ones and then use those accounts to send spam.?When this happens the sending mail servers usually get blacklisted. ?This is because the specific mail server at Google, Yahoo, etc. is sending out so much spam that it gets noticed by one of the major internet blacklisting services and ends up on their published list of bad senders. Lots of companies check these blacklists (including us) and restrict mail accordingly.?
?
You have done nothing to cause this, and neither has the person who sent the message (usually). ?The sender simply had the unfortunate luck to have that particular message routed through a mail server that has been blacklisted.
?
Solutions:
?
Not all mail from Gmail, Yahoo, etc. is getting blocked, only mail passing through servers that are blacklisted. ?Google, Yahoo, etc. use hundreds of mail servers, and at any given time the vast majority are clean. ?When you send mail from Gmail/Yahoo/etc. you don't usually use the same outgoing mail server for every message. ?Your message could be routed through one of many many mail servers.
?
That said, there are two options to consider if you are experiencing this issue:
?
Do nothing. ?These issues usually resolve themselves quickly. ?The folks at Google/Yahoo/etc. usually find the problem in a timely manner and work with the blacklisting organizations to have their IP addresses removed as soon as possible.
?
Whitelist the sending IP address in your spam account. ?If you absolutely need all email from the blacklisted IP address to pass through the spam filter, you might have the ability to whitelist the specific sending IP address. ?Be advised though that this should be a temporary measure because basically you would be allowing all mail from a known spam source to pass through the spam filter and into your inbox. (Whitelisting the sender's domain name or email address would not work in this case because the IP reputation check takes precedence over domain-level or account-level whitelisting.)
?
Note: ?Keep in mind you are doing nothing wrong. ?You shouldn't have to change your policies and put your mail server at risk just to accommodate a system that allows spammers. ?This isn't really your problem, it's the mail provider's problem. ?They should work to fix it, and you shouldn't have to accommodate them.
?
Note to Senders Getting Blocked: ?This issue is not technically your fault (usually). ?You're just using a service where this is bound to happen. ?Free email services are a magnet for spammers and if you share a service with millions of other users, bad things can and do happen. ?A long-term solution to this problem would be to get your own domain and host your email with a reputable provider. This option is not free but it is much more reliable.

A big problem with Yahoo mail is the placement of "Delete" button just next to "Spam" button. Several times by accident you click Spam when you are really want to delete. Then you get a "removed from GIO" message instantly. |
