Re: Suspicious "set display name via email" events
Hmmm, there were 11 "bouncing via system" events a little while *after* the "set display name by email" events-- 11 bounces total, but different from the "set display name" addresses.
And several of the "display name" addresses whose email delivery history I checked showed "no recent bounces".

Any emails sent by these members, if they are the first emails sent by them, will cause the display name to be set. So if you've had at least that many members post during those 10 minutes, OR send +owner emails, OR respond via email to just about anything coming from your group, it will cause that. It will die down eventually because the display name is only set the first time an email comes in. (Thankfully, Mark changed this from before, when it used to reset each time anybody sent an email.) ? -- J

Re: Questions on Transfer Form
Because your message does not contain the message you are replying to, I can't be sure, but I think you are replying to the message I sent where I said the reason the drop down list was confusing was because of a bug. If so, this means my message was approved by the moderators and I still am not getting some of my email copies of what I send on a timely basis like I should. I contacted my internet provider about this over 7 days ago and still haven't heard from them.

Re: Suspicious "set display name via email" events
Drew, Today, according to the activity log, in the span of 10 minutes
fourteen members in our group "set display name via email". Typically
there are two or three in an entire day. Any idea why the very
unlikely coincidence? There was another incident like this reported recently. Speculation included continued activity by the transfer agent (which is reported as "via email") or some trigger to coincident first-time posting.

Re: trouble with transfer from yahoogroups
I suspect Mark is trying several different approaches to getting the transfer agent onto different groups. I was assisting transfer three different groups a couple weeks ago. The Yahoo invitations never did go through, but I asked Mark about the old Yahoo request membership link. Mark was able to get transfer onto those groups using that and the group transfers were set in motion that way.

----- Original Message -----
I'm confused because Mark posted that he'd completely changed the transfer process:
"I spent a good part of this week completely redoing how I do Yahoo Group transfers. No longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group. Instead, you go to?/yahootransfer?and fill out a form, with your Yahoo Group, your Groups.io group and what you'd like to transfer. You can then track the progress of the transfer through the website."
He says "no longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group" etc., but when you click on the link, it still instructs people to do that. I think this is creating some confusion. Possibly he posted the wrong link here?

Re: Questions on Transfer Form
Shal,
Because no one in this group knew which choice to make, I sent a message to Support. It turned out to be a bug and has been corrected. I looked at the form just now and it has been fixed.

None of my transfers were into groups that had subgroups, so I don't know. I'd probably choose the second as it seems less ambiguous (all of the subgroups are part of Wine.groups.io <>, whereas Wine alone seems to uniquely designate the primary group by its name).
In the list of group names you get by dropping the "Your Groups" list the indentation and the icons make it clearer. In that list choosing the Wine.groups.io <> entry is a synonym for choosing "Wine".
Also, I'm confused about the sequence. The instructions say send
the invite and then uncheck all moderation privilages, if desired.
There's an implied "wait for the transfer agent to accept the invitation" in there.
Then it goes to the

Furthermore, after being admitted and also receiving the welcome message, it still shows "no email deliveries."

My bad, all. I was trying to invite [email protected] to my groups.io group, not my YahooGroup. It always helps to actually READ the instructions, not skim!

Re: Tracking Pending Member and Welcome Messages
And I would say, "maybe not". A current pending member, who has received both the confirmation email and pending member notice, shows "no email deliveries" in their email delivery history, right now, in my group.

Let's see how it goes when I follow instructions.

Nice. I like not having to track down one of their messages first. I haven't been able to find the "All Posts by This Member". Where is it? Marina
