New subscribers bypassing the Pending subscription notice
Hi,
I run the OSPOTA (Ohio State Parks On The Air) group. I have it set up so that a join request triggers a Pending Subscription notice to them so they can give us more information about themselves. Once they reply favorably to that, we approve them.? We've had a few that according to the activity log are not getting the notices. Once I get a notice that there's a pending subscription,? I send the notice manually.? I've looked through the settings, and all seems proper. Is there something I need to change in the setup to get things working properly? Thanks in advance, John Myers /g/OSPOTA |

How do you know that they are not getting the notices given that the Activity Log doesn't tell you! Chris |

An actual failed delivery (i.e.: bounce) should show up in that subscriber's?Email Delivery History. It's always possible that a notification will land in someone's spam/junk folder, so be sure to have your subscribers check for that, too.? Finally, anyone you Invite/Direct Add is not sent any Pending Subscription notice...and in fact, such people never land in Pending status. Groups.io assumes that you have already vetted them in some other fashion...otherwise you wouldn't have sent them an invitation. If for some reason you need to collect information from everybody (including invitees) you'll have to find some other way to do that.

?All right, that answers my question then. Thanks to both of you.? If these messages are not being logged in the activity log, then I don¡¯t know that they¡¯re not receiving them. More than likely they¡¯re just not answering them. ?That¡¯s kind of what I had suspected earlier this morning, so I¡¯m going to leave it at that. ?Thanks again for your help.? John Myers?

John, I run North Fulton Amateur Radio League¡¯s groups.io reflector and web site (nfarl.org) have similar experiences to you with pending membership messages. Approximately half of those asking to join our reflector don¡¯t reply to the initial notice, but do reply to a followup manual notice. ?

?Bill, that¡¯s been my experience with it as well. It¡¯s all good now that I understand what¡¯s happening.
