You can delete entire TOPICS using the page found at?/g/GROUPNAME/topics-test.

Note the "test" part of the URL above. That means this is very much in beta and could go away at any time.

Be careful when using it...once you verify the deletion in the popup dialog, every message in that topic will be gone, and there is no way to get them back.?

Other than that, groups.io currently provides no functionality to selectively delete messages in bulk.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Re: Randomly can't email a list I'm the Admin for from Gmail #notworking #bouncedemails

 

Karen -- I've not really experienced much difficulty with posts getting through when using GMail.?In SMTP, 500 is a "permanent" syntax error...meaning a command has been sent that the groups.io server (or an intermediate mail server) does not recognize. Things I'm seeing online suggest that this could be caused by incompatible antivirus software.

The provided screenshot doesn't tell us much, but the header information in the bounced message might. Instructions on how to open the header can be found at??("How to Read Email Full Headers"). Try pasting the message header into the analyzer at??(or?) and report back on what it says.

Or you could try contacting Mark at [email protected]. As an Enterprise user, you should receive a prompt, priority response.

If the problem persists, you can always post online from?

This is not very much help, I know. Sorry.

Good luck,

Thanks everyone. Looks like we're at our free limit. I never would have guessed all those little attachments would add up to a whole GB so fast, but they did.

Eden,

I use mailman lists all the time. I also love GIO and get the same functionality out of each.

GIO just has a lot more options. Don't use them if you don't want to.

That depends on what you mean by "solely".? There's no way to disable the message archives or keep people from going online to access the group.? You can disable many of the features (files, photos, etc.) on the Settings page.? I believe there are several groups here that came from a mailman background, so maybe one of those folks can give you some tips if you give more detail on what you want.

Re: ListServ

 

If you mean an anounce only list, yes I believe the is a way. If you mean as a lst serve where people can reply, yes there is a way. I own and run 3 lists on IO. You will have to export yoru list archives as MBox files but that should be doable from themailman interface.

Re: Can group owner change a members email-address?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Bruce,

?

of course you have good ponts here. Yes, some of these members have stopped writing long before the transfer. But as I have been reminded again and again, some of them they do read, messages as well as files.

?

¡°A transfer to groups.io is a good way to clean up your member list.¡±

?

Yes, that?s true. And I will look at each of their history and then delete them, especially the ones of whom I had a second address.

?

Thanks

If they were added at all, their transfer was successful. But read further...

When I look at the "activity history" of the bounced (yahoo mail address) members, I can see the mails they sent before the transfer in February 2018, but I do not see a single one after the group was transferred.
Did their posts abruptly stop on the date of the transfer, or sometime before??

If on the actual date of transfer, perhaps they weren't adequately notified of what was going on, and were thus left behind. It's important to send such notifications as a Special Notice so the people who are on "no email" are adequately informed.

In my case, virtually everybody who ultimately landed in Bounced status had stopped posting a long time earlier. This is simply more evidence that these people are not really interested in participating in the group and perhaps should have been purged years ago. This is the most likely scenario.?

Anyway, when I look at their "email delivery history" I can see that - starting about a year later - all the emails which were sent to them via group did not reach them any more. Instead the mails all had this notice: 554 delivery error: dd Sorry, your message to .... cannot be delivered. This mailbox is disabled (554.30). - mta4415.mail.bf1.yahoo.com
Yahoo began to disable inactive accounts at roughly this timeframe...as I told you earlier.?This is a permanent error, and unless you have some other way to contact these individuals, there is nothing you can do to get them back.

A transfer to groups.io is a good way to clean up your member list. If it's been several months and no one is complaining, I'd just delete them. But if all this discussion still hasn't mitigated your concerns, leave them in Bounced status. That is, after all, your only other option.

If you're the group owner (or moderator with correct permissions), you can go to the group Settings page, scroll down to the Privacy section, and change Hide Email Addresses In Archives to "Do not mask email addresses in the archives.", then Update Group at the bottom.

Re: Can group owner change a members email-address?

 

Shal,

I just realized something. Could it be that this bouncing problem of my yahoo members has to do with their non-compliance to the transfer?

When I look at the "activity history" of the bounced (yahoo mail address) members, I can see the mails they sent before the transfer in February 2018, but I do not see a single one after the group was transferred.

I do not remember if there was anything a person had to do in order to become an active member of the new group. Maybe it was just that they had to write an email to the new group or confirm an email which groups.io sent to them. Could it be that if they didn?t do this (because they didn?t understand the email in a foreign language), only their profile was transferred? But they weren?t fully equipped members because they didn?t comply to the new group requirements? And if they didn?t write emails within a year?s time yahoo just bounced them?

Anyway, when I look at their "email delivery history" I can see that - starting about a year later - all the emails which were sent to them via group did not reach them any more. Instead the mails all had this notice: 554 delivery error: dd Sorry, your message to .... cannot be delivered. This mailbox is disabled (554.30). - mta4415.mail.bf1.yahoo.com

Sorry I am posing more questions concerning this subject but I try to get behind this.

Truncated email addresses when included in an email

 

When I enter an email address in a Message (new topic)? of a non group member address e.g. a company or iother orgainsation,? the address does not appear in total when the post is published. . For example this appears:? ?commodorekeys @..................... How can I ensure the address is published. On two occasions I have simply had to ask members to email me off the group for the address. Tony K


Re: Sending messages to the group owner And moderators

 

Fabien,

If someone wants to send a message to the group owner and or
moderators, how will the group owner and or moderator receive it to
their email?
Messages sent to the group's +owner address will be forwarded to the subscription address of each group moderator and owner (subject to the mod/owner's Owner Email option on his/her Subscription page).

In other words, I clicked on the group owners email.
If you mean that you clicked on the Group Owner link on your group's home page, that should have opened a new message in your email interface, with the To address set to the group's +owner address. If you filled in a message and sent it, the message should have come back to you.

In your case it would not appear to have come back because Gmail does not show in your Inbox messages that you sent that return to you. So to test this feature you'd need to send the +owner message using a different email address.

The reason why I¡¯m asking this, is if someone wanted to ask me a
private question, instead of posting it to the platform.
That is indeed the purpose of the +owner address.

Shal
