This is a user-to-user group, so suggestions won't receive any action, just discussion.

There have been requests on the beta group for similar functions, but nothing has been implemented.? If you uncheck the "Allow Nonmembers to Post" setting, these messages won't go into the pending queue.? You'd need to decide which is more important.

Discard messages w/ "Invoice" and "Attendee list" in subject? #spam

 

Would it be possible to add message subject line regular-expression filters to kill obvious spam, rather than put it into the moderation queue?

Over the past few months, I have been deleting a dozen message a day which have subject lines like "MWC Barcelona 2020-21 Attendees list."


Re: Bouncing due to a message from GMF!

 

It was not the gmail problem from yesterday as the list of my accounts bouncing went back to messages from the time of the transfer in. I haven't posted messages to some of those in months niow and yet they were on the bounced list.

Not much of a storm. Few didn't get theirs and re-submit and got through.

I wouldn't think so. With Yahoo not sending out any group messages the number of member posts that bounce on the way in should tail off rather quickly.


Granted I think the number of messages in flight today for
Yahoo is much lower than the past but at some point messages will be in
transit from somewhere that doesn't exist ...
Those will be delivered normally, I think. I doubt Yahoo would break any SMTP transactions in process, but even if they did all it means is that the message "in transit" won't be received. As if never sent.


or messages in transit to somewhere that ceased to exist.
Those will bounce back to sender. But in Yahoo Groups' case (as here) all the senders should be humans attempting to post messages. The rate that has been happening of late seems rather low, and while the people sending might do a few "try again" just to be sure, I think they'll quickly figure out that it doesn't work.

Re: Seems Gmail is tripping now, or recently.

 

Bruce,


Most of Google crashed for about an hour, including GMail and GDrive and YouTube, and etc.

That was long before I got up this morning whereas my first bounce today was at 3:18 pm. That's not to say it isn't related, but it is clearly a new event.

And according to started this afternoon and is affecting many email services, not just Groups.io.

I don't know if that's a consequence of this morning's general outage at Google, but the bounce was clearly erroneous.

Spectrum limits the number of concurrent connections from a sender, as well
as the total number of connections allowed. Limits vary based on the
reputation of the IP address. Reduce your number of connections and try
again later.



Should this be a bug report, beta list, or what?



Looking at the long on GIO, the mail message hits once or twice a day, but
getting 5 in a day (today) tripped the bounce limit.

Do you have your group set to "Reply to Sender" (see the pull-down menu under Message Policies)? Or perhaps you're selecting the "Private" button when you compose a reply?

Such messages go directly to the person you're replying to. They do not pass through the group and will not appear in the activity log.

Hope this helps,

Yes, the restriction of No Attachments applies to everyone.

* Not as important (I guess), but if all members do have the same
restriction, it would be nice that they all showed the same thing in the
Delivery column -- that is, either all with "A"s (preferred) or none with
"A"s.
The A shows up when a member sets a size limit on restrictions.? If you changed the Default Subscription Setting for that, it would show up for new members.

* Finally, if this kind of thing (indicators showing up for members that
joined after a change but not for older members), what is the general way to
handle the question listed above?
Reading the Owners Manual should answer any questions like this.

Re: Help with emails sent not showing up I am the moderator of the group

 

Sara,


That's exactly why I am asking. They are NOT appearing on the Activity logs. Do you understand why?

Assuming you mean the Activity page for the group, and not any individual member's Activity History, then the only reason I know of is that the message wasn't sent to the group's posting address. If it was, then it should be listed there.

I have checked with some recipients, and they are telling me they get them, so I know they went out. But I can't?find them.?

If they went out via your group then they would be in the group's Messages list.

Is it possible you're confounding two separate groups?
