On 8/14, I changed my DMARC record to p=reject and removed the groups.io IP address from my SPF record. This may be the first message I've sent since then. We'll see how DMARC likes it.

As stated in the Owners Manual, that only sets the person's posting privileges to the group setting, whatever that is.

One way to unmoderated yourself is to go to Admin, Members, select your name, scroll down to Posting Privileges. Be sure to Save.

However many group owners prefer to have themselves moderated, just as the group is. As a Canadian, I would say it gives me "sober second thought" as we say about our Senate!

That doesn't necessarily surprise me; IIRC BT has more than one actual provider lurking behind the BT emblem.?

I have a <btinternet.com> email address subscribed to my group and have not had any problems with losing group access because of having a message marked as spam. It is for my second presence as Group owner, but that shouldn't make any difference.

The group description is editable - and re-editable!

It is suggested that if your group is going to be in the list of groups (Find or Create a Group), make your description count.

Go to Admin, Settings.
Be sure to save by clicking update.

Thanks, you are right!? The original message was deleted after the responses were received.? Today's message was edited several times then deleted!?

Now I feel right daft for not checking the activity log!

Thanks again,

The only time I've seen something like that, the poster deleted the original message.? I'd bet that if you check the Activity log, you'll see that's what they did.? If not, it should still give you a clue what happened.

On the website a new thread/topic appeared, but it started with a member posting two responses to the original post.? I couldn't see that original post on the website and the message count for the topic was only two - i.e.the two responses that I could see, with the original post not included in the count.? I could only see the original post by clicking "Show quoted text" on the response.? When the daily digest arrived I checked and there was indeed an earlier post that started the thread, and other members had responded to it.? Back on the website I could see the responses, but still not the original post.? Subsequent posts by the OP to the same topic did appear.

Today it has happened again on the same thread: on the digest I can see a long post by the original poster, but it doesn't appear on the website version and the message count for the topic hasn't gone up.

Anyone else had this happen?? Any ideas?

Here's another possible solution. Gmail (which generally doesn't have the problem we're discussing) lets you define filters that look for certain characteristics of an email, such as keywords or the sender's address, and take various actions. At times I have had to set up a filter to NOT send certain emails to the spam folder.?So if a user's ISP has this capability and the user is savvy enough to use it, it's an option.

In my experience, this is not work

And Outlook.com does not provide

No one action is a solution for all emailers but it is worth trying

If I remember rightly, BT like Sky use Yahoo as a service under their own branding (I have both) or have they moved again?

My suggestion for a solution for your problem is use another service, such as gmail which doesn't have the problem you have

Well... sometimes. My ISP (BT) changed its mail interface a few months ago and all Groups.io traffic was shunted into the Spam Box. ("All" in this case being traffic from the one group I moderate; my preferred modus operadum is to use the web UI) Marking messages as "Not Spam" was completely ineffective; it carried on shunting them aside. My previous solution was to disable the spam filter but this option was not available under the new regime, and on its own admission BT had / has no means of whitelisting.

The only solution was to load Groups.io per group sending addresses into the ISP's webmail Contacts List, and with one exception this method has been successful. Simply trying to teach BT not to declare Groups.io emails as Spam was a waste of time, and without knowing how other ISPs react to attempted training I for one would not recommend that as a solution.
