Members receiving scam/phish with digest and malicious attachment
Hi All
First thanks in advance for any help. I did a search of archived messages and did not find what I thought this might be. I have had two members report to me they received a copy of our group Digest with a Phish message and malicious attachment. The sender is not a member of our group. The alleged receiver of the digest? is also not a member. The digest has been altered throughout. We are a restricted group. I'm wondering if this is my group's issue or the members have been hacked. As I said, this is the second report. The first report had? similar name but different email address as sender, also not a member of our group. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks Nancy C ECIR Group MOD |

Pending member notification setting changed
#notifications
I¡¯ve had my pending member notifications set to ¡°email only¡± for a long time. This morning it was set to ¡°none.¡± I¡¯m pretty certain I didn¡¯t change it. Before I ask on Beta, can anyone think of a reason this would have happened without my intervention??

Re: Thread Reply: @ sign being replaced by an = sign
I believe I have found the culprit in my particular situation.? I had a user who was getting the error "510: The group 'username=yahoo.com' does not exist"? every time she tried to reply to a group post.? This is what I found...
She uses a Samsung Android phone with the Samsung Email App.? It appears that this app does not use the "Reply-To: " field in the email header but uses the "From: " field instead when replying to a group post.? Furthermore, If the message was sent from someone with a Yahoo email account, the "From: " field contains the funny "On behalf of" address (e.g. "username =yahoo.com at groups.io ").? If the message was sent from someone with a Gmail account, the "From: " field contains?the originator's Gmail address.??So, in the case of replying to a Yahoo sent message the user gets the "510: The group 'username=yahoo.com' does not exist".? In the case of a Gmail sent message, the reply goes directly to the originator, but totally bypasses groups.io. I instructed my user on how to use the reply links which are within the message.? She is also going to switch to the Yahoo Email App, which seems to correctly grab the "Reply-To:" address.? Perhaps others who have Samsung phones can test this to confirm.? Also, the iphone Samsung app would need to be checked, but I don't have one of those. |

Re: RSS Feeds and limiting to members of Group only?
Could it be that your problem person is still a member under a different account with a different email address? On Fri, Feb 23, 2024 at 7:12?PM Richard Sheasley <rsheasley@...> wrote:

It is sometimes tricky to figure out which one. But to your question: ?the help page explains how to do search: - View the manual as a single page . Then you can use the Find feature in your web browser to search the entire owners manual. - View a PDF version of the manual. Then you can use the Find feature in your PDF reader to search the entire file.
Tip: In most browsers and PDF readers, you can press Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac to access the Find feature.
?I normally click on "single page" and use my browser Edit / Find (in Safari). About inviting people to join your group: Here's the Help page for using Invite. /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/inviting-people-to-join-a-group?single=true Take the time to edit your Invite Notice (in Admin, Settings, Notices) and use your toolbar to highlight your own content to personalize it. Save it for future use and activate it. Note that you can't remove what is there (the boilerplate) which is required at least in some jurisdictions. But by spaces, formats, bolding and italics, colour, you can get a pretty good invitation. Then use Invite in your Admin menu.? Frances -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |

question regarding help section and link for people to join

It is not something I have personally tested, nor have I seen any discussion about that here in GMF. I will leave the testing of that to others, as changing a group to private archives is an irrevocable decision and not to be taken lightly. Is there any other way that the messages of the group could be viewed by a non-member (I have looked at all the members names and email addresses and do not see some sort of back door or alias member.)It occasionally happens that a subscriber will forward group emails they receive to non-members, either singly or via some automated forwarder. Other than identifying the offender and removing him, there is no effective way to prevent that from happening. Hope this helps, Bruce?

(See the Group_Help group for an example.) You can subscribe to that group¡¯s feed using your RSS feed reader/application of choice, without joining the group. However, you will not be able to add topics or reply to topics unless you become a member of the group. If RSS is working properly AND your archive is visible to members' only, there should not be an RSS feed on your homepage. See this example that the Help provides: /g/Group_Help Also this group has a feed: ?/g/GroupManagersForum Hopefully others can shed light on how someone is getting your content.
