Re: Problem with the way Groups.io sends group messages

Chris V
 

I have just set up a group of some 300 and been hit by this 'feature'
This is MORE than just a spam issue. People sign up to talk to others of similar interested.
BUT they do not sign up to have everyone know their email address.

Because of this and the EU GDPR regulations I have had to close the group I just set up (lasted a couple of days)

For me to set up more groups larger than a handful of people this MUST be changed to send emails from only a groups.io email address


Re: #issue No mails delivered to any of the group except owner #issue

Daniel P?tzold
 

I just figured it out.

All my different E-Mail Accounts still had my full name as name of sender.
Apparently, groups.io isn't differentiating between e-mail addresses but between names. And since my name was always the same, I always got 2 mails to my main address, no matter which one sent the mail.

I added my wife and all works with that.

thank you all!


Re: pending membership

 

Is there any way to check whether a pending membership questionnaire was sent? Would it show up in the activity log?
?
?I believe it would show up in the pending member?'s Email Delivery History as either successful or Unsuccessful. The fact that they applied would show in the Activity log, but I don't think it has a separate entry for the fact of sending the Pending Subscription notice - that's automatic.

There is no notification in the members Email Delivery history about the Pending Subscription notice as far as I could see

The most likely explanation is user error. Were you looking over her shoulder and watching her do it? Is her inbox full? Is the email account even active?

Open her subscriber record and check to see if group emails are bouncing. I also couldn't help but notice that "noreply" is misspelled.

Any suggestions??
Once logged in, she should be able to change her email address without losing message history. See?/static/help#changeemail

Hope this helps,

I'm kinda guessing here, but I suspect you have the group set for "reply to sender" and have "copy self" turned on in your Account settings.

Go to Admin->Settings->Message Policies. There is a "Reply To" pull-down menu. Make sure it says "Group," then click the blue "Update Group" button at the bottom of the page.

Now click on your name (or email address) at upper right and select "Account." Click the Preferences tab at left. At the bottom of the page there is a checkbox that says "I always want copies of my own messages." Uncheck that, and click the "Update Preferences" button.

Hoping this helps,

Re: #issue No mails delivered to any of the group except owner #issue

 

How were the accounts added?? Direct Add, Invite, web signup?? What's the name of the group (so we can look at the home page and see the group settings)?
Have the added addresses been confirmed (do not show NC in members list)?
Thanks

Any files that you were only using as member notices, usually sent out at some interval, aren't needed any more once you've set up a current means of delivering them.

Re: pending membership

 

In general, a 2.xxx.yyy code means things are hunky dory, a 4.xxx.yyy means you may need to try later, and a 5.xxx.yyy means the messages aren't getting through.

Re: #issue No mails delivered to any of the group except owner #issue

Daniel P?tzold
 

I have repeatedly checked if all accounts have the same settings. Whereby I won't expect to not receive mails after enlisting by just replying to the invitation-mail.
All messages have always been sent to the group address.

I even created a second group to see if I made a mistake within the creation process. But I got the same result there...

Thanks Shal,
I checked where you said and it appears that it went out when it should have.
However, what does this mean?

Right, I understand the use of Wiki, Member Notices and the Calendar..........
?
The files can be saved on one's computer. In my case when I save them I can?then open them in notepad. But if they are now member notices, what are the files good for? I am just curious before I delete them. ?Ilene?

What Victoria said.? One of my groups is a political committee.? Our files section houses over a decade of agendas, minutes, treasury reports, official correspondence, resolutions, endorsements, chartering documents and so on.? It is very much our institutional memory.

Best,

?

When the files are transferred from the YGroup............

They?aren't sent out to the group.

The group can't read them from the site. They have to save them to their computer in order to read them.

They can't be updated or changed.

New Files - words cannot be added.

You only get the shell - name of file and short description area. No place to write what the file should say.

?

The only thing they can be used for is the owner/moderator can open them. Change them. Save the changes and then copy and paste them to become a MEMBER NOTIFICATION.

?

Once that is done, really the only thing I can see is the files can be deleted.

Re: #issue No mails delivered to any of the group except owner #issue

 

Have you checked the other accounts to see if they're set for Individual Messages?? Are you sending the message to the group address and not the +owner address?

#issue No mails delivered to any of the group except owner #issue

Daniel P?tzold
 

Hi together,

I want to move our Google group to groups.io
Now I created a new group and added some of my several e-mail accounts to the group to test its reliability.
But whenever I send a mail to the group address, only the address which is owner of the group gets an e-mail notification - twice. I receive every post twice with the owner address, but none at all with all the others.

Can someone help me with this?

thanks
Daniel

A blanket statement like that isn't fair to those of us that use the files section, nor to Mark who has spent a lot of time getting things to work well.? Just because they don't work as you expect or the way they did on YG! doesn't make them useless.
