Merging group from Google Groups...
#google
HI,
I have a group on here that was on Yahoo! Groups!! and we archived here for posterity. The group is pretty active with 1,000+ members and it moved to Google Groups... When we moved to GG, we didn't have the first 8 years of messages (they are here, from Yahoo!). What I'd like to do is merge the GG new stuff with the old Yahoo! messages we already have here, and potentially move here from GG. How to I get the GG data here? (I'm also admin/owner of the associated GG group). Thanks Nick |
Re: Help figure out DMARC failure
The previous message made it to my inbox, barely. DMARC is not an issue¡ªadding groups.io to my SPF record is not required. Some details from the headers of the received message (see ):
Authentication-Results: spf=pass (sender IP is 66.175.222.12) ?smtp.mailfrom=groups.io; mydomain.com; dkim=pass (signature was verified) ?header.d=groups.io;mydomain.com; dmarc=bestguesspass action=none ?header.from=groups.io;compauth=pass reason=109 action=none means no action based on DMARC. Received-SPF: Pass (protection.outlook.com: domain of groups.io designates ?66.175.222.12 as permitted sender) receiver=protection.outlook.com; ?client-ip=66.175.222.12; helo=web01.groups.io; X-Forefront-Antispam-Report: ?CIP:66.175.222.12;CTRY:US;LANG:en;SCL:5;SRV:;IPV:NLI;SFV:SPM;H:web01.groups.io;PTR:web01.groups.io;CAT:UIMP;SFTY:9.20;SFS:(34206002)(76796012)(6636002)(19810500001)(336012)(36756003)(6666004)(966005)(58800400005)(118246002)(33964004)(7636003)(36736006)(8676002)(5660300002)(22186003)(2616005)(956004)(76236003)(7596003)(26005)(356005)(37006003)(6486002)(7846003)(7696005)(1096003)(83380400001)(166002)(79116004);DIR:INB;SFTY:9.20; SCL 5 - Spam Confidence Level 5 - default is to move 6 and above to Junk SFV:SPM - the message was marked as spam by spam filtering CAT:UIMP - User Impersonation SFTY:9.20 - Phishing - User impersonation. A general note on DMARC and Microsoft 365. As seen above, groups.io is rated "dmarc=bestguesspass" and does not warrant any DMARC action. I created another scenario with a different domain that caused DMARC=fail. But I learned that Microsoft 365 does not respect p=reject even when DMARC fails. That's right, it never rejects based on DMARC. It treats p=reject like p=quarantine. The DMARC action is "oreject" (override reject) and the mail is delivered to Junk with CAT:SPOOF. If you have set up the sender as a Safe Sender, it will not be moved to junk. See . So the best you can hope for when setting up DMARC is that messages may be marked as spam; it won't block the spoof messages from being delivered. |

How to Search for Special Notice messages

#specialnotice
Trying to search for Special Notices today, I could see in the Activity pane "sent special message" as vs. "sent message."? But I couldn't see how to search for special notices.? The drop down for search is SO long, but nowhere special message to search by.??

Re: Report of who uses GIO via web
Chuck,
Likewise here.? Our group has MANY files and photos of helps for the community.? However, those asking for help via email seldom or never visited the GroupsIO web page to even look for the documents, specifications or tutorials.? Thus, it's a message dialog going for 5 to 22 replies before a person understands what they need to do. In a funny and odd twist, the non-members to the Group, aka Joe Public people, tend to stop in and view things or read things without too much trouble.? Just getting the members to this level would relieve so much time waste. To have a listing of members who visit and those who email would be really handy.? And if possible, have the list generated to show the ID in column-A, total web visit column-B and total email in column-C.? This way, upon review, there could be mixed folks who now how to do BOTH methods.? Typically, those are the people who know how to navigate really well on the web. BMaverick |

Not everyone is techyI suggest that you persuade your president to become a bit techy. The only available option means quite a bit more work for you as Owner, as follows: From the Members List click on Download. This will give you a CSV file that needs to be opened as a spreadsheet that includes information about joining date, delivery options, posting status and the like. Printing the spreadsheet in that form will guzzle paper to include all the probably extraneous information so it may be necessary to delete all the irrelevant columns first. Even with the largely irrelevant material removed you are likely to finish up with a lot of paper being used, depending on how many members you have. In your position I would say "sorry", you are going to have to process this material for yourself, and here's how... Chris |
Re: searching for members question
Hi Tamra! The group has restricted membership, so I would have had to approve any new subscriptions, and I require identity info to subscribe. Thanks, Patti

Thanks, Duane. ?You are definitely correct about:
You can't be sure of that.? They may have used the group features, but only use email for messages.??But based upon personal knowledge of our club's membership I wouldn't be going too far out on a limb to venture that a healthy percentage of those who use email for messages have never viewed our calendar, Files section, and GIO's Search features-;) ?I guess I can just keep hammering away at them via messages, postings on our website and via MailChimp. I'll post the thought on the beta group in a bit. ?Sorry, didn't realize suggestions weren't taken here. Please remove the hashtag I put on it if you haven't done so already. Thanks again! -chuck |

When responding to questions on some of my groups (as well as this one), I often include a link to a file, photo, wiki page, etc., so anyone that's interested is using the site, even if I don't know it.

Report of who uses GIO via web

Not sure if this falls under the #featurerequest or #suggestion category so I tagged it as both.? It may even already be somewhere I missed in the documentation but I searched around and could not find it so here goes...
One of the many reasons we migrated from GG to GIO is its loverly web interface.? Our previous GG folks only used that system via emails to the group so we're trying to get them to use GIO for things like its polls, calendar, searching, etc. but it's an uphill battle -- lots of Luddites.? To that end, I'd like to be able to get a listing of those members who have never accessed the group via the web.? As I browse thru members' Activity History and the main Activity Log, I see some with messages sent via web but there is a significant # who have ONLY sent messages via email and never logged into the web interface for its additional features. Is there some way to generate a listing of those members?? I was thinking of dumping the whole Activity Log then parsing it via Excel but wanted to check to see if I'm missing something obvious first. Thanks! |
Re: How to make edits without emailing everyone in the group
#messages
Should be noted, though, that the author of the edited message will still get a notification that the message has been altered. So the general membership won't be sent an updated copy, but the author will get a notification.

Hi Bruce! Thanks for your response - my findings interspersed below.

If you do need to enter something to further filter the hits, I suggest using the full address. My own experience with substring searches has been somewhat hit-or-miss. I tried it with the full address, and now at least it is showing up, whereas before it was not showing up for any search! Strange, but oh well. The person may also have -- instead of changing their email -- merged two email addresses/accounts. Pretty sure on this end that such a merge does not appear in the activity log. So, I am not sure what merging addresses means, but I am at the point of thinking this mystery may never be solved. It is not a huge group, and at some point, I will just check my list against the member list online and maybe something will turn up that way. Thanks so much for your very helpful suggestions and thoughts! Patti _._,_._,_
