Confusion on group email addresses
#messages
I'm new to groups.io, my apologies for asking some basic questions. I couldn't find a topic on this, or info in the wiki.
in the welcoming message that new members get, it says you can post new topics by sending an email to <groupname>@groups.io.? I couldn't find information about creating new topics via email anywhere in the help or wiki, I just stumbled on this. However, in the group home page, it lists "Group Email Addresses", and it says "Post: main@<groupname>.groups.io" Are these essentially synonymous? Any difference between the two? I find it a bit confusing to have two different forms for email addresses in these two places |

When I upload photo to home page of my group it comes out really small.The closer the original is to 900x300 pixels, the larger the area covered.? If it's larger than that, it will be scaled down to fit within those limits.

Re: problem with .rr
Duane, I have some experience in this. Here are the two messages. While you are correct that 4xy messages are temporary and should be retried and 5xy messages are permanent and should not be retried, more detail is available. The codes are defined in . The second digit (x above), breaks out as: 0: A syntax error was detected in the request 1: This is a reply to information that was requested 2: These are replies relating to the communications channel 3: Unspecified 4: Unspecified 5: These replies indicate the status of the receiver mail system vis-a-vis the requested transfer or other mail system action. Let's look at these two individually: Jan2: 4 different messages pkvw-mx.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net: 452 4.1.0 <[email protected]>?server temporarily unavailable?AUP#CMPOL This message came from the Parkview Colorado mail exchange of charter.net.? The message had code 452. The second digit was 5, consistent with the text "server temporarily unavailable." The complete definition for 452 is? "Requested action not taken: insufficient system storage" They make reference to their Acceptable Use Policy, but it doesn't seem to be relevant in this case. Dec 15 and 16: 2 different messages pkvw-mx.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net: 421 p-impin019.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp 66.175.222.12 blocked AUP#CMPOL 421? <domain> Service not available, closing transmission channel ? ? ? (This may be a reply to any command if the service knows it must shut down) This is not general server overload like the case above. In this case, charter.net has explicitly blocked 66.175.222.12. That address belongs to linode, where groups.io is hosted. Larry |

Re: Question about a texting function
There is a chat function, but not texting
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Chat-Overview There was a discussion in Beta some time ago - with a reply from Mark saying texting could be added, but as part of a paid group (service?) Mark is looking for beta testers for an iPhone app. Not sure what functionalities will be available. Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

Re: Deleting all subgroups causes main group name to revert
On Fri, Jan 3, 2020 at 10:57 AM, Samuel Murray wrote:
Essentially this means that one must always keep at least one dummy subgroup alive in order to maintain the domain-style group e-mail address. Is that right?That's correct. The impression I got from the help files is that the group address change after creating a subgroup is non-reversible.See this discussion in beta? Bruce |

So, this means that if I have "[email protected]"?and I create a subgroup called "one",?and rename the main group from "main" to "two", and I then delete the subgroup, mails can no longer be sent to "[email protected]" and must be sent to "[email protected]" again.Upon further testing, this reversion appears to happen only if you did not change the main group's name from "main" to something else. I tested it by changing the main group's name from "main" to "original" before deleting the sole subgroup, and the main group's domain-style name remained intact this time. Still, it is unexpected that a main group named "main" would lose its name. Samuel |

Is it possible to change the group settings so that [groupname-gio] is displayed? in subject line of group emails rather than [groupname ]?You can fully customise the subject line tag. Is that what you mean? On your group's "settings" page, scroll down to "Message Formatting" and see the field called "Subject Tag". /g/YOURGROUPNAME/settings Samuel |
