corrupted from email addy #MacSupportCentral

 

I mentioned that groups.io mangles some from email addresses. Mine is showing as:

Brent via Groups.Io" <whodo678@...>

But I noticed that many here are not having that done to theirs. I think it might have to do with how I joined groups on yahoo. Could one of the admins or mods here look into that and correct it or tell me how?

I would much appreciate it.

I saw that too, but when I look at the email address in the member list it doesn't have that problem. You wouldn't receive any emails if it was wrong. I don't know how or even where I would fix that. It could be because your profile doesn't have the user name filled in so it is substituting your email address. I don't know. You could try updating your profile and see if that fixes it. Looks like a groups.io bug.

Testing

I am generally a minimalist as to posting private info to the net.

But to correct this issue of mangling the from shown on groups, I tried this:

- signed into groups.io
- clicked on (my name) in the upper right and chose account
- clicked Identity on the left column
- chose Edit under Account Profile
- under User Name, I entered a short user name.

This email is to test the results.

It does seem that the FROM address and names are working more normally than the previous Yahoo groups. So far, I¡¯m pleased with this change. Sometimes change is a good thing.

A huge THANK YOU to the owners/moderators that made the change so quickly. As from a users point of view, the change was really easy and painless.

Again, THANK YOU!

I beg to differ. It seems that a little under 50% are still mangled.

I haven¡¯t seen any of that on this end. You can see in the quote below what I see. You are listed as ¡®Brent via Groups.Io¡¯. That is the way I see all messages.

However, I did get a login to iCloud message once when accessing Apple News app. I hit the CANCEL button and it went away and News ran as expected.

There were three 32 bit apps that I deleted. Nothing that I normally use anyway. So far, things are working incredibly well. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind in the future. 8-D

Hope you get the addresses figured out.

Bob, I don't know what you are talking about.

What I am talking about, is the mangled portion following what you quoted, the <whodo678@...>part. My email is whodo678@..., not whodo678=yahoo.com, note the equal sign. and not @groups.io.

Turns out it has something to do with DMARC. I have not figured out if there is a work around.
