Bouncing doesn't help for those on No Email, because they are never sent any group messages. You have to send something manually (via the Member List) or disable No Email and send a Special Notice (per Duane's recommendation).

I get it that people may not want to receive emails for a short time period (vacation, etc.) and set their groups to "No Email". But there is a high risk that thye may not set it back. That is why I disabled "No Email" in my groups. They still can limit email to digest or summary. But i see if they bounce.

That's much clearer. The member must reply to a bounce probe to be taken out of Bounce status.

Thanks!

To be clear, a red B means the account is Bounced. This means groups.io has given up trying to unbounce, and is no longer sending anything to that address -- even bounce probes.

You can override this and manually send a probe via a button found at the bottom of that person's membership record.

I haven't submitted one recently, but you used to get an immediate acknowledgement.? Then it was a waiting game.? FYI, you must send it from the email address of the owner of the paid group in order for it to even be considered.? I can't be sure, but I think incoming emails are compared to a list of group owners and unpaid group requests are ignored.

Yes, if they're red B, they're bouncing (bounced in GIO terms.)? A bounce probe sent after that isn't successful unless they click the unbounce link (actually unbounce the Account.)

Any email provider that uses spamhaus tends to do this regularly.? The only solution is to change providers, but there are very few that don't use some outside source.

The Members list shows the red B (bouncing) tag, so I click on that member. Email Delivery = Individual Messages.

Activity History shows subscribing via web on Oct 6, posting a question to the list, and finally "Email to member@ispdomain?is bouncing" on Oct 17.

Email Delivery History shows Recent Bounces list from Oct 9 through Oct 17 - six entries, some of which are from spamhaus.org.

Spamhaus has blacklisted groups.io at least twice that I know of.

GIO aggressively reacts to the feedback loop mechanism ("removed for marking a message as spam") in hopes of avoiding such things.

Most Recent Unsuccessful Attempt Oct 16. Ok so far, looks like a real bounce.

But then, Most Recent Successful Delivery shows a successful Bounce Probe Nov 1 - "mail accepted for delivery".

That's a fairly typical outcome of a temporary blacklisting. However, that doesn't mean the recipient responded to the probe. Until they do, the bouncing status will persist.

Check your activity log for an entry along the lines of:? "Email to?HisAddress@ domain.com is no longer bouncing via web"

Is this member's email bouncing or not? It doesn't look like it, but the Bounce tag persists. Shouldn't the tag be cleared upon a successful delivery?

If there's a B status badge -- either blue or red -- then they're still bouncing.

Bouncing is an?account?status, not a subscription status.?There may have been subsequent bounces associated with attempts to deliver messages in another group.?As a group Owner, you don't have the benefit of examining every bounce...if the member has any other subscriptions, your view of his bounce history will be incomplete.

The only way to get a comprehensive picture of the bounce history of an account is for the account owner himself to go to?/account?page=bounces?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hello,

Does anyone happen to know what the anticipated turnaround time is for support cases opened on premium accounts? I submitted a request via email a couple of days ago ([email protected]) and didn't receive a confirmation that it was received or any other confirmation.

I've never opened a support case before (that I can remember), so I don't know what to expect.

Thanks!

Including an unsub link strikes me as a pretty good idea.

That would allow you to check
for bouncing.

I'm missing something here. Can't you already check who is bouncing by looking at the bouncing members list?

Bryan,
I think spreadsheet filtering and private mailer is the only viable mechanism. The GUI shows some detail about last activity, but that's a manual process that only works to handle individual members. Our group has over 600 that need checking.? The API doesn't provide the data that the GUI does about last activity.

Post to the group using your phone. Then check your Activity log ( /g/GroupManagersForum/message/35813 ) and tell us what the first entry says.

Until these instructions are carried out we will continue to struggle to help you.

I just noticed that you started your group a few days ago.? You should probably read the Owners Manual and the Members Manual to become familiar with everything.? It will definitely take awhile, but should cover everything you need to know.
