Why would you do that? that's supposed to take you to the iogroups-website. If you want to reply from your own email, you click the "reply" of your email and delete the stuff in the digest that you

I recently moved a notification-only group from Yahoo. I established it in 2005 with no restrictions on who could join, and it now has about 250 members. After setting up a new group here I sent

Hi Mark, Could you not add a temporary rule on Adding along the lines of your "bouncing request" first before the add is processed? Regards Mo

John, People migrating groups from Yahoo have no idea how many bad addresses they have as the yahoo system has been broken for years. Bigger groups, who migrated before now, often found that up to 1/3

Mark, Thanks for all your hard work on this. It’s a thankless task at times. Re “I don't know how to prevent that behaviour”: you might need to publish some administrator guidelines.

Certainly in the past, the reason we've been put on blocklists was because of premium groups direct adding bad addresses to their groups. My suspicion is that with this last wave of Yahoo Group

It actually IS the case at GIO if the email service uses an FBL that GIO subscribes to. I know that Mark has subscribed to most of them, but there may be some smaller services using them that he's

Mark, is there any possibility that your mailserver is being scored negatively by its hostname using the .IO TLD (there may have been some earlier discussion about this but I cannot find it)? I

Mark, I'm seeing delay again with Spectrum/TWC. As of 2 o'clock.

Sounds like that thing where to stay in business you have to pay the mob. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can

Chris, One of the reasons I wanted to use a group rather than do bulk email from my own IP is that I encountered this problem and it wasn’t stable. Every provider has different criteria, few

Bob, That’s useful, how do you do it? John Wirtz

I suppose that if you make this consistent, I would "vote" for leaving it off both types of groups. Because it's not a zero-one thing in the email case. You can go special-notices-only in the groups
