There was an entry in the activity log today that "email to [member xyz] is bouncing." This is the first such entry we've had. I checked the member's activity history and the only thing in it is one

Re: Spam
Yahoo already makes it fairly hard to spam the group-owner address (I've probably gotten a dozen spam emails in as many years via any of my group-owner addresses). Emails sent to a

Re: Spam
Louise, Probably, given that the +owner email address is listed on each group's home page. Groups.io has one option that Y!Groups does not: each owner/moderator has the option to control their receipt

Re: Spam

Re: Spam
This is certainly not limited to Yahoo Groups. One of my discussion groups on the Temple University server has been receiving spam messages from a non-subscriber. None have reached the list, but I get

Re: Spam
Any email address, even if it hasn't been used on a public page, is subject to the spam attacks. The ones that are hot-linked, such as on the Home page of our groups, seem to be added to spam lists

Re: Spam
My Groups.io groups are getting attempts to email the group (about one per week) from the phony addresses re 'your electric bill' to email the group. They are logged as attempts by non-subscribers and

Re: ads?
I've seen a couple from Juno sneak through on my groups, too. Probably a tweak needed to keep them all at bay. Duane

Re: ads?
p.s. I'm now seeing that this is a juno.com message. So perhaps the juno filtering is not working yet?

Re: ads?
I don't believe there are any ads yet. Mark mentioned once that he wanted to get the site out of beta mode before pursuing them. There are several email services that insert footer ads. Mark has

ads?
Has anyone noticed Grouos.io running ads? A couple of ads (or links to ads) have appeared below emails coming from group members via the group, but I'm not sure whether they're coming from the users'

Re: searching on a member, and the @ sign
Duane, When I set up a profile, the @ sign was added automatically, not (seemingly) by anything I did. So I'm confused by you saying it's "used to set up a profile." In any case, I think it would be

Re: searching on a member, and the @ sign
As far as I can remember, it's only used to set up a site Profile. I prefer not to have one of those, but I know many folks have them. I can't think of a reason to be able to search site wide for

searching on a member, and the @ sign
Can someone here outline how the @[membername] thing can be used? I know that as a group owner, I can click on it within a member's page and be taken to the member's profile. But can it be used to
