Re: Should bouncing messages result in deletion of member from group?
Anita,

Re: anyone know if Groups.io messages to aol members tend to go into spam a lot?
J,
I have a group member who has not responded to several messages from theI don't know if this relates to your problem, but it might. It is unfortunate that those direct messages are included in the bounce processing mechanism - that means you have nowhere to look to see if AOL accepted or rejected the message. Of the 35 AOL addresses in my PTA group, 10 went bouncing after a message post on the evening of the 16th. Thus far only one of those (a fellow mod) has unbounced herself. The Member Activity log shows that it was only AOL addresses that went bouncing at this time. The message from AOL is singularly uninformative: 550 5.1.1 <... @ aol.com>: Recipient address rejected: aol.com I redacted the member's user name, and added spaces around the @. Maybe I should send her an email from my regular address.I'd say yes - probably the message from your email will go through and you'll not learn anything, but at least if that fails you should get the rejection notice ("bounce") back in your email. The mod forwarded to me the "Your Groups.io Account Is Bouncing" notification she received from Groups.io. Even though the others are blue B Bouncing, not yet Bounced, the notification to her said (among other things): "We have suspended email delivery to you. This means you will no longer receive messages from the groups you are subscribed to, including: - Example - Example+board - Example+exec-board - Example+teachers - Example+staff You must take action to restore your account, or we will unsubscribe you from all of the groups you are a member of. To unbounce your account, go to the following link:" I don't know for sure that she was Bouncing, not yet Bounced, but I infer that from the fact that the rest are still Bouncing (she unbounced herself before I got a chance to see). I used the Actions menu to send a "Bounce Probe" to the other nine, I'll be watching to see what happens. Shal |

Hi Anita, When you are on the Members list page, click on the down arrow at the right of the Members button at the top of the list.? Select Bouncing and the list below will switch to bouncing members only.? Bouncing members (B) in Blue are still being probed by the system.? When the B is Red, the system has given up trying. If you want to see the bounce history, click on a bouncing member's email address, then click on the Email Delivery History button. Hope that helps, |
Re: Should bouncing messages result in deletion of member from group?
This is potentially a new sub-topic of this bouncing members thread. I have three concerns/questions listed below. I have three very small groups that I use as project focus groups for an organization I belong to. A member just forwarded a notification message she just received today that her address was bouncing and she would be removed from [list of groups] if she did not unbounce her account. She is an ultra-conscientious security minded person and does NOT click on links without making sure they are valid. So, first I went to my management area and looked at the members' list. I could not see her listed anywhere. I couldn't spot another tab it might be under; there was no marking anywhere. Checked the other two lists, same thing. So, I went back to her forwarded message and clicked the link to UNBOUNCE to see what happened. Voila. I got a message that "my address" was now unbounced. When I clicked on my groups, it brought up the list of the member's lists with me logged in as her!? I finally had to log out and log back in as me. When I checked the admin for my groups, she was back on all groups.
I do most of my emailing from either my email client Outlook or from Gmail. I don't like having to use the web interface to keep track of things.? Would appreciate any sage advice! Anita C |

Thanks for the bouncing tip. Not sure what you mean by 'between aol users.' I'm not an aol user. Only the member is. Nothing in spam...

Subject: [GMF] anyone know if Groups.io messages to aol members tend
to go into spam a lot? I have a group member who has not responded to several messages from the owner address. I noticed today that her email is aol. I recall a problem with those emails awhile back. Is this a known thing? Maybe I should send her an email from my regular address.? J |
Re: anyone know if Groups.io messages to aol members tend to go into spam a lot?
J,
I'm curious if you've checked your spam folder to see if the replies got stuck there? Probably not, but can't hurt to check. I've also noticed that AOL addresses have been bouncing off and on for the last few days. I don't think it would apply between AOL users though. Sometimes a "554 mtaig-mbb04.mx.aol.com ESMTP not accepting connections" error, sometimes a "dial tcp4: lookup mailin-02.mx.aol.com on 74.207.241.5:53: dial udp 74.207.241.5:53: i/o timeout" error, and sometimes (especially most recently) a "521 5.2.1 : (CON:B1) error (IP blocked). Not sure what's going on there. Duane |

Interesting. I finally sent the member a personal email, asking her to check her spam file. She said that she HAD received all of the messages from the owner address, and had answered and returned the questionnaire as required and that it was in her "sent" folder. However, we did not receive it. A similar thing happened recently with someone who applied using an att email address. I will contact that person as well, now. If it happens a third time I will let Mark know. I am a moderator on AOL as is the Owner of our group Do you mean that you use aol email for Groups.io? Thanks. J |

Editing the subject of a message
Can that be done?? Today was the first occasion I wished to fix a mistake I made, which I didn't catch before I approved it, in the subject of a message. I can't do it with Yahoo. I can do it with Google. I've edited the text of Groups.io messages before, but it looked to me today like I can't edit the subject. Is that right? ~~ Stephanie |
Re: Should bouncing messages result in deletion of member from group?
J,
?Thanks. I already have a test group that I've been using; I just don't Sure: " - I created a new page to unconfirm your account, if you wish. It's at ? /unconfirm and it's not linked to anywhere on the site." Mark /g/beta/message/7190 If you don't need to actually confirm the address it might be easier to just log out of Groups.io (or open a browser without an active login) and enter a nonsense email address (use @ example.com or otherwise be certain that it couldn't accidently belong to someone). I think that is what I did to create at least one of the NC members in my test group (I used my company's domain, where I knew the fake email address did not exist). That should work, unless Mark has since then implemented countermeasures against bounced confirmation emails. Shal |
Re: Should bouncing messages result in deletion of member from group?
J,
I'm sure I've never seen an NC member in my group's members list, butIf you'd like to examine these first-hand without messing around in a "real" group you're welcome to join my test group. I don't see a connection to the group's membership being restricted or not. My test group is currently not Restricted, but it might have been earlier. You could switch it back and forth to see if you can create new NC entries under each condition. Shal |

Just an opinion and an observation, in case you were suggesting that someone (me) with bouncing members should report it to Mark. No problem. I was suggesting that *someone* mention this to him as an issue, as trivial as it may be. It seems to be causing ocnfusion and the change seems to have been recent. I'm sure I've never seen an NC member in my group's members list, but maybe there's a difference with restricted groups? J |
