Blank names when users join or get imported translates into postings getting rejected from mail


 

I noticed that when users did not enter their names when registering or when imported they appear blank.? Many email systems (Lotus Notes and Exchange) will see this as an invalid message.? I have added a dummy name to the person who was having the issue, but it seems that Group.IO should either not allow someone to register with blanks or when composing a posting, it should format it in a way that will be acceptable.? I checked Yahoo, and it allowed blanks, but it required that you use a profile name.? I am wondering if this needs to go to Support or a features mailing list.

You could submit it to support, post it on the beta group as a suggested change, fill in the blanks for everyone, or add something to your Welcome message (and Guidelines?) saying that it's required.? I'd opt for the last one.? Since Notes and Exchange can be configured to avoid that problem, you could also contact the people in charge of them.

Would you please clarify how to fill in dummy names for those members who joined YG without including their names? In my YG, members whose name appears in the name field on the YG membership list are in the distinct minority. If I'm understanding this thread correctly, if their name field came over blank into .io their posts will bounce.

You can go to a member's record and fill in the Display name if you want.? If it's blank, it makes no difference to groups.io or any properly functioning email service.
