Yes. Open the member list, and click the "select all" box at upper left (see screenshot). Then scroll to the bottom and select "Remove" from the Actions pull-down menu.

You may have to do this several times, depending on your personal "Items per Page" setting.

Hope this helps,

P.S. The "add image" dialog in the editor crashed and burned so there's no image here. Oh well...

Re: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Sorry, Pam, that should be "reply option": in the first sentence to you, not "replay option."

Pam: You might try responding to people through the "Reply" (or "Reply All") option at the end of messages (footer that starts "Groups.io Links:") to see if using that replay option also causes the problem you're having with responding through Apple Mail. If using that option does NOT produce the same problem, at least you'd have a way to respond to messages until you can identify a solution to the issue with Apple Mail.

Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Okay; I just attempted to reply to Stephen, using the regular ¡°Reply¡± tab, and everything appeared correct. ?However, within minutes I received the error message appearing below. ?But, ahead of that, here is the reply I attempted to send, and which prompted the error message.
Not sure what you are talking about. ?I use Apple Mail, and am clueless as to host; not sure what that is. ?I am _not using Reply All; only Reply. ?I¡¯m also just noticing something else that¡¯s a bit strange. ?While this doesn¡¯t appear on _this email, I occasionally receive one that, up in the area where the ¡°To¡± field, the ¡°From¡± field, the CC/BCC line, etc. is found, there will be a line that says ¡°Reply to ¡¡± followed by the email address, which is a link. ?Clicking this link seems to begin a new post, rather than a reply to a previous one. ?I routinely use the regular ¡°Reply¡± tab instead. ?What¡¯s the deal here?

Pam, it would be helpful for us providing advice to you to know *exactly* which email client you are using on your sending device(s) and *which* email hosting service you are using.? Both of those an cause be a part of the problem you are experiencing.? For example, many email clients ¡°remember¡± your past attempted ¡°to¡± email addresses, even those that you mistyped, and may ¡°suggest¡± those to you automatically after typing a few letters when you go to enter an address into the ¡°to¡± field and if you choose the invalid one, well there you go.? Some email hosting services (smtp) do not provide certain security data to the receiving email hosting service (imap/pop), causing the receiving end to reject the sending end¡¯s message¡perhaps something you might not able to solve outside of switching email hosters. ?Again, if you want some help here then best to provide complete information on your environment and procedures you¡¯re using.? This is not to say there isn¡¯t an issue on the groups.io email service end, but a support person is impeded without complete info.
Stephen

Pam,
This group operates as just that, a group. Private one-to-one conversations are not part of the setup.
You are failing to reply to me because that's not how the group is configured. There is a reply to sender option but it is in the footers, not the mail headers. Please don't try to continue one-to-one, for one thing, I won't be reading my emails for another 36 hour plus!
I can think of only one comment at this point - are you using [Reply] or [Reply All] ? It may well be that your mailer gets [Reply All] wrong? I am confident that this group, and groups.io in general, are working normally and correctly.
best, Malcolm.

?This is a system-generated message to inform you that your email could not be delivered to one or more recipients. Details of the email and the error are as follows:
? ?'help_group' does not exist (in reply to RCPT TO command)
That report is unambigously showing that you, at that time, tried sending a message using "help_group" rather than "group_help".
Your email (below) shows headers:
From: "Pam Coffey via groups.io" < --- your address with '@' changed to '=' --- @groups.io>
That's normal because many sites would reject the message if you were quoted 'correctly' as the sender due to measures introduced in recent years to try to avoid faking of email addresses. An email should use the Reply-To header as specified which will result in the message going back to the group.
That all said, I am mystified as to what your actual problem is, sorry.
best, Malcolm.

Pam did then send the rejection message directly to me - but I was out/off-line yesterday.
I think the answer is straight forward, the rejection was saying that " [email protected]" is not a valid address - it isn't, this groups is " [email protected]". My conclusion (best guess) is that you have typed a dud address into your contact list.
best, Malcolm.

If this happens again, you can always post that undeliverable

I tried to do that, and that one also came back as undeliverable.

My best guess is that you need to look (very) closely at the address in the to field when sending. Taking your post below as an example, it come 'from' "Pam Coffey via groups.io" <abc@...> where the address abc@... has been 'munged' (yes, it's a genuine technical term) to avoid rejection by some of the 'big boys' is the email business. If your mail program, for whatever reason, tries to send a message 'to' that address then groups.io will reject it with the message you describe. Generally this occurs (in my limited experience) either by using 'reply all' and not checking what has gone into the 'to' field or by using 'reply' in a mail program that ignores the 'reply-to' header. best, Malcolm.

All of us in [email protected] are members of one group. It is not divided into sub-groups, and it is a free group. Other members, as far as I know, are not having this issue. I don¡¯t use any weird email settings; and my account isn¡¯t bouncing, as I receive all email messages that are sent to groups.io and not to a specific member off list. Any idea as to what might be going on, and what I can do about it? When the replies come back, I have to re-formulate them and send them off list to a specific member.
