Impossible Addresses on Replies to an Email List


 

¡°[email address] [PublishingDC]" <PublishingDC@...>
The address above was for the person who first posted the message. It remained on the replies so everyone thought the first person was author of them all. And whenever I try to send a new message to <PublishingDC@...> the email of this person is added even when I start a new thread

[email name]@...>

Individual addresses from Yahoo, Me, and Mac

"[email protected] Calendar" <[email protected]>
At some point I received a message from this list that included ¡°Calendar¡±. Now all responses go to that address. I have to go through my previous recipients and remove them from the list.

How do we protest this? Any chance of a change?

I'd take a serious look at the settings for the group to make sure nothing was changed.? All of my groups are working fine, so it's not something that has changed on the site.

Yup. That's a problem with how Yahoo Groups handled the DMARC problem Yahoo Mail and AOL created. Groups.io does it right (keeps the actual email address unique per member).

"[email protected] Calendar" <[email protected]>

I think your email interface must have picked up the display name from that message and stored it away in your address book as the "name" for GMF's posting address. So now that's what it shows you for our address.

Change your email interface settings, or protest to whoever provides your email interface (your service, your mobile device vendor, etc.).

Disable the setting that automatically stores received email addresses in your contact list. It is safer to automatically store only addresses you send to (those are more likely to be right, once you've cleared the bogus entries out of your address book).

And/or change your interface settings so that you are shown the actual email address, not just the "display name" or the address book entry name.
