Re: Digests being sent to Junk folder by yahoo.au

Cal
If she marks in as Not Spam yahoo mail should automatically move it to their in-box.
As I have a yahoo e-mail account which I use for only certain mail: Ex from family or from my doctor's and at first they were getting marked as spam and moved to that folder. After marking them as not spam I have had no further issues other than the occasional new messages that would get marked as spam. |

Anne,
Thanks. We had moved before Yahoo shut down and it was a smooth process to transition to groups.io. More recently I needed to update group settings (I'm the Group Owner), but received an error when trying to save changes. I changed the group title (not the
email) slightly and was able to make the moderation changes. Hopefully most of the freecycle groups aren't impacted. I appreciate everyone's input to resolve this issue.?

Most of our local Freecycle groups have switched to groups.io with no problems; all have the word "freecycle" in the group name.? Most of us transferred from running our groups on Yahoo, having left the Freecycle.org fold long ago.

Wait time for message upload to Premium groups?
Anyone know how much of a queue there is now (and how long a wait) to have messages uploaded to a Premium group?
I upgraded a group (created 2020-01-14) to Premium ($220 payment) on 2020-10-15. (Upgrade confirmed in Billing section with 2020-10-15 renewal date) I emailed <[email protected]> Fri 2020-01-16 6:09pm EDT to upload 2 zip files of messages (attached) my YahooGroups GetMyData download, and 2019-12-29 to 2020-10-15 message in (we think) mboxrd ) format. (message receipt confirmed "Your request (15549) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.") Members are getting restless waiting for the messages upload to use Groups.io instead of YahooGroups... I just replied to confirmation messages asking: "Please advise where we are in the queue (and when) to have our archived messages uploaded to <group name>" Thanks, Michael |

Are you trying to change the group name along with other changes?? or does the existing name have "freecycle" in the name? Try making changes without any change in the group name.? See if that goes through. I tried and tried to make a group with "freecycle" in the name, came up "not valid" everytime.? If I happen to duplicate the name of an existing group it said "not available".? I think there is a block on using "freecycle".? I wrote and asked, about 3 days ago, but have not received a reply. Our freecycle group has a shortened name, just initials, so I created a group with that name and that was accepted.? Then in the description I wrote out the full name with "freecycle" in the description, and that worked.? I checked search, and if you put in a search for a freecycle group in our area, our new group comes up. I don't know why we cannot create groups with "freecycle" in the name.? There are already lots of groups at io that have freecycle in the name, but seems to be blocked now. Marilyn On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 8:26 PM Iris Trieb <triebi@...> wrote:

Yes, I can log in and perform operational items (approve/reject messages, add new members). I have an issue when I try to change the group settings. It appears to me like I am the group owner, and the
Group Email Address?looks fine until I make a change to the settings and try to save, when I get the error in the image below.

Re: Undelivered message
So I followed up with my email service, which is The Well. They are a small and wonderful online community that has been around since the dawn of the Internet era. They are stymied as to why some of my Group emails come through fine, but others get turned away. Not bounced, but turned away.
They have asked me to get in touch with groups.io tech support, but I am not a Premium member and so don't have access to tech support. The Well apparently had some kind of spam-type blocking mechanism in place. To solve my problem, they tried removing the block. My tech support contact there writes, "after I removed the block, suddenly??started flooding us with attempts, over 43,000 in a matter of minutes.?I think there's something wrong over there. Could you get in touch with their support? I reinstated the blocking mechanism for now." I am not sure what to do. All my messages were coming through fine until about a week ago. Now, when I look at it, it seems like the groups that I subscribe to as Summaries come through, but the Digests don't. Is there any way to have someone at groups.io talk to the people at The Well?
