The concept is much older than that. I remember using a special EOF character
(although we didn't call it that) on a 1st generation computer, where input and
output was punched cards only. The character told the machine to stop reading
cards and switch off the card reader. Every program and most input data files
had to end with that character.

To quibble, though, that's a pun on "file".? The EOF at the end of a Hollerith deck was to indicate that the program ended there, not a file that the program was reading.? That is, the punch card EOF is code EOF, the C style EOF is data.

Best,

Hi,

Is there a way to where you are in a main group and you have say three sub groups
and you want to notify or email from to all four from your main group?

Thanks,
John Roberts

Admin->Settings->Message Policies->Disable Editing Posts.

And before you ask, there is no way to allowing editing without allowing deletion.

Hope this helps,

Hello all

I manage a group and have a question. How can I disable members to delete their own post??

Thanks

Tom,

I initiated a Yahoo group transfer yesterday and the transfer was completed this evening. Admittedly, it was a group with very little content, but all the messages, members, files, photos and database content transferred over intact. It was a free account group, so no special treatment as might be seen by a paying customer.

You can do it whichever way you prefer, but you can't expect everyone else to
conform to your way of thinking (unless you own the group ;>).? We each have
our own preferred method of communicating.? On my groups, most of us tend to
read online, so not a problem for us.

In this group many of us (most?) prefer to read posts in an email client. It is
common courtesy to allow for that by including in replies sufficient of the
previous message to make it clear what you are talking about, otherwise you
fail to make your point. What is there to lose by doing so?

Patti,

2) There is an option to allow group members to download the entire
group archive. Is that exactly as it seems, and if so, what are the
pros/cons on allowing that?

Allow Members To Download Archives is a rather new option, and I doubt that very many have experience with it. I've not tested it myself.


But yes, I believe it is exactly as it seems. Note that the text below says "message archives", so unlike the "Export Group Data" feature available to moderators it would not include options to download other parts of the group (files, photos, etc.).

One thing I'd want to know before enabling it is whether it delivers the full content of the messages, including header information such as the poster's email address. If so I definitely would NOT enable it on a group with unrestricted membership. Actually I probably wouldn't enable it on an open group in either case.

Nope. Not unless Mark says something about it in beta, or someone reports here about a recent completion.

How about just accepting the email and killing it instead of bouncing it.

Terrific idea. That's how Yahoo does it.?

Patty,

Would not that auto reinstatement email now end up in that person's
Spam folder since they have marked the group's email address as Spam?

That's certainly a possibility.

I can't say it is a certainty, given the vagaries of how various email services filter spam.

Should we as list mods, warn unsubbed list members to also look in
their Spam/Junk folder for that auto reinstatment email, ...

I've done that on occasion, using my personal email, in some of my tight-knit groups (classmates).

And, it sure would be nice if Groups.io had the ability to "group
email" all auto unsubbed list members, to let them know they were auto
unsubbed due to marking the list's email as Spam, and here's the link
to be reinstated.

How would that differ from the message Groups.io already sends? That is, if this follow-up message comes from groups.io it seems no less likely to land in spam than the first one. Or do I misunderstand you?

I already have two pages of auto-unsubbed list members since
transferring over, about 3 weeks ago :-( Again, due to the make up
my list members, ...

A large population of AOL, Yahoo Mail, and certain other service's users will do that, regardless of the members' other characteristics.

Leslie,

One member of my group said that her email to our group bounced, so I
checked her "Email Delivery History" and found this:

As Duane and others mentioned, the Email Delivery History is for outbound messages - from the group to the member.

It sounds like your member's message bounced on the inbound leg - from her to the group's posting address. You can learn about problems on the inbound leg from the group's Activity log. In the Message Activity tab look for entries showing "attempted to send message". Those will be failed attempts,

But it sounds like you already figured out that this was a case of
"Non-member [person's gmail address] attempted to send message ..."

Many supposedly free email providers perform some sort of restriction on their victim/members.? rr.com throttles the incoming messages if one exceeds an unspecified total of something they do? not define to the user.? ?As a resdult, messages are bounced by the rr.com server with cryptic error messages like, "too many messsages"?
account busy, try later
etc.
Hotmail also does this and Prodigy.? AOL has some unique stuff going on.? Their servers are actually on their own custom style network with bridges to the real internet.? If you assigned bridge gets too busy, they declare a "destination timeout".? this last may have changed but I've seen more retries on AOL that on any other service.

Thanks for all your help.

I sent out a test message. Everyone was able to receive it and respond to it except for one charter.net account whose account was set up to respond through gmail. We subscribed her gmail account in addition to her charter.net account and now everything seems to be working for all members. :-)

I don't know exactly what error message you are reading, but it sounds like someone is sending malformed files, like one with the EOF character inserted inside the header or something.

EOF means "end of file" in this context also, but it emanates from deep within the mail server software and isn't something you can do anything about.

Bottom line for members unable to post is that unless the bounce message comes from Groups.io, then the member needs to directly contact the ISP thru which the message was posted. You probably need to see that bounce message - complete with all headers - to determine where it came from. Good luck explaining to your member what "complete with all headers" means.

As it turns out, all three members whose mail said "452 4.1.1 Too much mail from this address E2210" are subscribed with charter.net addresses. One of them has been trying to respond through the gmail address she said she didn't want to subscribe to the group.
