This would be consistent with a setting of "mask all email addresses in the web archive." Could you check that setting again? ? -- J

Transferring member emails and archived messages
I have just established a new Group and want to transfer the archived messages and member emails from my old Yahoo Group to the new Groups.io group. Not sure how to do this. Maybe can point me to any instructions on the website or send instructions on how to do this to my email. Thanks for your help.

Re: Truncated Email Addresses

Didn't happen in the test I ran. I think you have the wrong setting checked for "mask email addresses in the archive."

The strange thing is:
if I read posts via mail, links are correctly displayed.
If I read posts online they are truncated (not just in preview, I mean the actual message).

Hi Marina & All,
It isn't just Groups IO mail that is bouncing. I have a gmail account that forwards to my Yahoo account. Yahoo was bouncing some of them for "554 5.7.9 Message not accepted for policy reasons."
I was able to contact some of my bouncing members by going to the Yahoo group and sending a "Special Notice" to all members with a list of those that are bouncing. I gave my gmail address and 3 of them have responded and have reset their bounces. I've had no new bounces since Mar 17.
I wonder if this is linked to a Yahoo update of their spam filters. Since I've used my Yahoo address for groups, my level of spam has increased to the point that I was getting 50 to 100/day. I figure it was due to group members having me in their address books and then getting hacked. For the last several days, the spam has dropped to 5 to 10/day.

So, they wouldn't even be able to read group posts online.

I'm not sure at what time they went bouncing. I sent a bulk bounce probe some days ago, but they are all still there with a red B. Actually, three new members joined the bouncing group.

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
I did the same thing in announcing about moving a group, it worked well with one hitch:? I had 1250 members, and my gmail account limited me to 500 or 1000 emails/day!? So it took a few days t tell everyone but that didn't impact the actual move.
You do have to have access to the Yahoo email addresses, which most yahoo moderators should have.

I don't think that's correct. They are still bona fide group members and can access all content and send messages. The only difference is that groups.io has stopped sending emails to them. ? -- J

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
Good idea. The same could be done using Direct Add, if they choose to go that route.

How long does it take to transfer
How long does it take to transfer from a yahoogroup into groups.io? Less than 50 members. Probably 1000 messages. No files at this time. Thanks so much. Tammi

SPF, Groups.io and Office365 Exchange Online
#split
We're seeing a lot more flagging by Office 365 Exchange online of SPF issues for emails that have traversed groups.io with users seeing messages such as this experienced in Outlook Online:
This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be.
Microsoft did recently overhaul their anti spoofing tech this month? ??
Is it worth those of us who have control over our domains, have SPF set up for our mail hosts, and who send a fair amount of mail via groups.io adding an SPF include record for groups.io ? Will this actually make much difference?
Just worrying that at some point emails will start being bounced, junked or blocked.?
Posting here as searching the Help Center for SPF returns zero results, and newest comments on SPF in here seem to be quite a while ago.?

Final Update: My group transfer was completed in about 2 days including transfer of the members and past emails.
Excellent and painless, I wish I'd done it sooner.
Heartfelt thanks to Shal for his advice and for the work of the team at Groups.io!

I checked the email I received, and it had the Groups.io address on it. ? Don ?

Disappearing highlighting
Ok, this is odd.
A member creates a new post on our groups.io site.? He copies and pastes into his post, text that includes highlighting--green and yellow.
1. The post on our groups.io site shows NO HIGHLIGHTING.
2. But the email that members receive from the groups.io site CONTAINS THE GREEN AND YELLOW HIGHLIGHTING.
Explanation?? Something I need to do in the settings????

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
Perhaps the transfer method I used would be of use to you.? I downloaded my entire group list from yahoo into a database, but you can use Excel if you don't have Microsoft Access.? That gave me a column with all the email addresses.? I simply copied and pasted that into the box for sending invitations.? It was very easy, and saved me the time waiting for a transfer.? I lost some members who chose not to join the new group, but I'm reasonably sure many of those were bad addresses, and were no longer participating anyway.

Re: A few questions about transferring a group
Yes. But here¡¯s an idea. You could make your group a ¡®premium group¡¯ for one month for $10, which would enable you to ¡®direct add¡¯ all the members (I.e., email addresses) you want to, without having to issue invitations and wait for acceptance. If you ask nicely, Mark may not even charge you the one-time fee, due to the unfortunate and unique circumstances. ??

Re: problems with cox.net accounts?
Not delivered; equivalent to disappearing into thin air. Not in the spam folder, or others. Cox.net addresses not bouncing as far as the groups.io website is concerned.
I'm fairly certain it's a Cox problem, but dealing with them is like shouting into an anechoic chamber.

Re: Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam

I think the idea, at least initially, is that these reports are (supposed to be) instances of the member marking a message as spam. And in that case removal is appropriate and useful. Unfortunately Mark isn't told how the marking came about.
I think in the circumstances it is reasonable to conclude that on the balance of probabilities that the member concerned didn't mark the message as spam. Groups.io only sends emails to individuals who have voluntarily joined one or more Groups hosted by it; it thus seems highly unlikely that anyone receiving a Groups.io email would mark a message as spam, and that such a marking was therefore most likely done by the ESP. However Bruce Bowman's post revealed a flaw in the idea of spam reports triggering a default to web - only access rather than a deletion of membership, and on the face of it that flaw could be a show - stopper as far as this suggestion is concerned. Ah well... it was a good idea while it lasted, which wasn't very long. Chris
