I thought I came across away sometime ago to set up an automatic Member that whenever a Database and/or File is created an?automatic notification is sent to all Members.

But, is there a Junk or Spam folder in the webmail interface, and can you create a filter that moves a message to the INBOX?

Yes; there's a Spam Box, and I found a solution late yesterday evening (UK time!) Buried in BT Mail's labyrinthine "Help" section I spotted something I think I had seen once some time ago but not followed up. Incoming senders are checked with addresses in the recipient's (webmail) Contact List and if they are there then it assumes that the incoming traffic is legitimate. I set it up last night and it seemed to be OK after 12 hours or so (fortunately the group in question is quite busy at the moment) so I gradually migrated incoming material from a temporary moderatorship (new word!) that I had set up on a second membership that goes nowhere near BT Mail. Fingers crossed; so far group traffic is not being interrupted at all, although it was a bit annoying to find an email from someone else was shunted into the spam box for no obvious reason.

So for now anyway the matter has been resolved. (Famous Last Words!) FWIW the "Help Pages" are so convoluted and cross - linked I greatly doubt if I could ever find the relevant section again. It's a wilderness of mirrors in there...

People who sign up to a group need to demonstrate that they

This is the purpose of the confirmation process; it's?not a sign that anything is broken.?

Those who already have a confirmed groups.io account -- perhaps by having previously subscribed to another group, or having gone through a Yahoo transfer, or who click on "Join This Group" while already logged in to groups.io -- do not need to have it done again.

Is there a fix to prevent this from happening to other potential members?

Not without paying for a Premium group. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List

UPDATE: It seems the problem was the subscriber's "Confirm Your Groups.io Subscription" email going to spam folder.

Just out of curiosity as I have never used the email subscribing on groups.io

I just did a test on one of my groups with an unused email address

It worked flawlessly and in seconds

Nope. I have found subscribe from /join working where the same address failed to subscribe via email.? I tested different emails and two different groups.

A suggestion that may help some folks: switch to digests. Not a solution if you like the interaction of receiving and sending emails all day, but for folks, like me, who spend an hour on groups in the morning and then leave them be for the rest of the day, digests reduce the volume of email and the odds that it will be classed as spam. When they are classed as spam, it's only one email to report not spam.

A new, centralized Groups.io Help Center is accessible online at /helpcenter. The Groups.io Members Manual (for all of us who use Groups.io's services) and the Groups.io Owners Manual (for owners and moderators of groups) are each available as a PDF download and as a single long, continuous web page. The Groups.io FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is also available in both formats.

This new documentation has been professionally assembled and edited by technical writer Nina Eppes under the direction of, and with help from, Mark Fletcher, the proprietor of Groups.io. Members of the beta docs subgroup have also contributed helpful critiques and suggestions for improvement.

Is the email address you're sending from already subscribed to the group?

If so, nothing will happen...not even an error message.

Thanks but at the bottom of this member's page there is no Confirm button.

You must have a Basic group. Only Premium and above can confirm members without their intervention.

The buttons displayed are Save/ Send message/ Remove/ Ban/ Send Confirmation Email

Check the box next to the person with the NC bade and select Send Confirmation Email from the Actions menu. The subscriber will have to respond to this email to remove the badge.

Anyone else having this error?

You can then copy or move messages to folders that are local on your computer.

Depending on how your client is set up and operates, it may also be used to rearrange the items on the server.? I use Thunderbird and Gmail mostly, so when I move a message from the Gmail Spam folder to the Gmail Inbox in TB, it also moves it on the server.? I resisted IMAP for years, but don't think I could get along without it now.? Mainly because I use a desktop at home and a laptop while traveling.? Everything stays in sync automatically and I don't have to remember to copy from one to the other.? As with any program, there are details to work out, but it works for me.

When you don't receive emails that you're expecting, the first thing to do is check your email delivery history.

I am the group moderator. I sent an email at 3:12 am this morning and didn't receive a confirmation that it has been sent. It is now 3:57 am??

Alan,

This has caused confusion for those who get the digest. They tell
me that in the digest there is only one button "Reply to Group and
Sender."

That seems to imply that your group's Reply To setting is "Group and Sender". Look for it in the Message Policies panel of your group's Settings page.

Is it possible for you to separate this into two so it is the
same as in the individual posts?

I'm not sure why the footer of individual messages would have those separated when the digest does not. I would expect that they would also be controlled by the group setting.

Shal
