Re: Groups.io site updates #changelog

 

Andy,

I think this week's change log is actually at
Oops, yes. You caught me being lazy (I generally copy the prior message as a template for the new one). I fixed it in the onsite copy.

Can someone clarify what exactly this function is cleaning?
That's my question as well.

(see for a description
of these)
Thank you for that, it helps clarify for me why a moderator would want to remove them - or not. I've often manually trimmed "clutter" like that from URLs just to make them shorter and easier to understand. Now I know that passing them on "gives credit" to whatever the source of the link was, should any of my members click on it in a message. That may or may not be desirable.

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

Bob,

I'm not a subgroup expert but the email address appears to be to a
subgroup, PrayerChatter, of cwgi, from the form used.
Correct.

But I would suggest it indicates that the address simply doesn't exist
in the form used in the email.
That does not seem to be the problem:

[email protected] - from the error report
[email protected] - from the subgroup's home page

The change of case in the subdomain name should be harmless -- the DNS system operates in a case-insensitive fashion. So it isn't obvious how the member's service could an error based on that difference alone.

2. Is the person a member of both the main group and the subgroup?
1. Is it possible they have bounced or not have rights to post?
If I'm correct the member's service never made contact with Groups.io to deliver the message, so those questions haven't come into play yet. Also, Groups.io issues specific error texts "not a member" and other disqualifications.

But just to double-check it makes sense to look at the subgroup's Activity Log.

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

Brandy,

Is it possible her ISP is blocking or not playing nice with groups.io?
Possible, but it seems unlikely on the sending side, since they're allowing her to receive from the group.

So this seems to me less a deliberate block as some kind of technical problem, more along the lines Bob is looking for (though the email address appears correct).

His question does prompt me to ask if you've looked in the subgroup's
Activity Log for any indication that Groups.io was contacted by her service. Presumably it would be one of the many "attempted to send"
cases. If there is a corresponding log entry that may provide crucial
information.

Re: Member chronic mail delivery failure

 


Shal,
[email protected]?
I'm not a subgroup expert but the email address appears to be to a subgroup, PrayerChatter, of cwgi, from the form used.
Most of the search results for error 500 say that "It's the worst error ever to have with email". It indicates server error
But I would suggest it indicates that the address simply doesn't exist in the form used in the email.
This, to me brings up a couple of questions:
  1. Is there actually a PrayerChatter sub group within cwgi or is there a possibility that incorrect case has been used on the email address?
  2. Is the person a member of both the main group and the subgroup?
    1. Is it possible they have bounced or not have rights to post?
I think there are more possibilities here but don't know enough about subgroups to comment more.

I think your member will have to take this information to her service's technical support and have them explain/correct the problem.

That's what I was thinking, but she's saying she has no other problems posting to any other groups or to us before we moved to groups.io. Is it possible her ISP is blocking or not playing nice with groups.io?

Certain email providers tend to bounce more than others, while some very rarely bounce.? Most of it depends on what's happening 'beneath the hood', so there's not much that an individual can do about it, other than changing providers.? There should be a technical explanation in your account of why it bounced, i.e. "550 5.1.0 66.175.222.12 blocked. Refer to Error Codes section at for more information. AUP#CDRBL", but it can take some detective work to decipher it.? Each email service will have their own descriptions of the codes.

Hello sugar, I'm sure that it's more than likely because you receive a lot of email from a lot of different places, and and can cause your Gramps I owe account to bounce. If you have a lot of email in your inbox.

Re: question on constant bouncing

 

Sugar,

so often?
The only clue we would have would come from the response given by your email service when they rejected messages from Groups.io. As it happens there are no bounce reports in your subscription to GMF so I can't tell what might be going on.

You should be able to get a more comprehensive picture (encompassing all of your group subscriptions) in your Account pages. Go to your Account (from the menu under your name in the upper right) then click onto the "Recent Bounces" page.

The text in the third column ("Reason") will tell you what your email service had to say. If you need help understanding it, feel free to copy/paste it to us. The top (most recent) bounce should be the most relevant to your recent experience.

Re: Mesages not making it to the group

 

Don,

Yet another data point. I can't approve the messages. I check them,
hit approve. They uncheck, but do not get sent to the list.
That's even more peculiar. They shouldn't uncheck, they should vanish from Pending, to appear in Messages.

As I mentioned off-list, I sent a second message but it has not appeared in Messages (nor by email).

Member chronic mail delivery failure

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have one member who cannot post to groups.io at all. She keeps delivery failure messages, and these are from several devices when both sending a new message and trying to reply to an existing one. Here is her latest bounce message. Ideas on what's happening here? She's never been able to post to the groups since switching over, but she gets mail.

As an aside, posting from the web directly won't work for her. She needs to use email.

Chris,?

Had already checked that and it is not the issue. Also, since I have been working directly with my account and it is not set that way, but messages are not making through that is another indicator.

Also, since I just tried with the new account, I am absolutely certain that is not the issue as the three settings that it has been in are:

  • Override: new user moderated?- messages are showing up.
  • Use Group Moderation Setting - messages do not show up
  • Use Group Moderation Setting - messages do not show up

Results of further testing. I removed moderation from the new user I set up and sent a message. The message did not show up.

Re: Email to group falling into a black hole

 

Thank you Shal and Gerald.

I have scoured the activity log and there is no sign that the messages ever arrived. I suppose some combination of local wi-fi or router being down and some failure of the mail client could account for it. Enough time has passed that the messages were evidently not held up in the maze of store and forward. The problematic messages were sent from a Mac, but I have had issues on Windows during Msft updates lately in which apps suddenly become unresponsive and entries disappear. Something similar may have? happened.

Since no harm was done, other than a tiny undeserved chink in groups.io's reputation for reliability, I will quit kicking this sleeping dog. Closed-no resolution.

Thanks again, and best, Marv
