Email Not Getting Through #attachments #email
|
One of the members at one of my groups sent a group email this morning that included 8 photos. Combined they were just under 20 meg. The group is set up to resize, and based on what is stored on Groups.io they ended up just less than 8 meg. I never got his message. I DID get a reply from one of the other members which led me to try to track down the source of the problem. My email delivery history at Groups.io shows no unsuccessful attempt, and no bounces. I checked my mail server (Spectrum, not the email I am using here) and the missing email is not there either in the inbox, or spam folders. To make things stranger, when he saw I didn't get the group email he sent the photos directly to me at their full size and I DID get that message with the 20 meg of photos attached.
Any ideas what could be going on? If one of my other members had not replied I would not have known I was missing anything. |

Strange, but I just got the original message, 3 hours late.Email has no delivery guarantees.? It's not part of any standard, so they get there when they get there, if at all.? There are some services that intentionally delay messages to even out the load on their servers.? It might be that Spectrum saw how big the message was and waited to deliver it when the load was lower. Duane -- The official Groups.io user documentation is in the Groups.io Help Center.
