Sorry, I missed the Gmail indication and actually thought it looked like a spoof attempt. If you're using G Suite and Proofpoint email proxy services, then this is not a normal situation at all. That

Oh no! The message as it stands is well spaced and because of that it's perfectly readable. I don't see why it needs changing to compensate for people's inability to fully read what they have been

Exactly and IIRC that’s what was suggested last time this came up. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be

If that's the case, I think an account level change should be recorded otherwise it's not a complete audit trail. Andy

ps We have a similar issue. We set the display name to their first name plus their cats name, and sometimes it mysteriously changes. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the

Sometimes they change their groups.io account display name, which may not be logged as a group action. The whole display-name logging issue has been revisited a few times, and I don't remember what

No, the problem persists as of 10 minutes ago. I can send email from the same account to dozens of other destinations, without any difficulty - it's only groups.io that fails. It's indeed Proofpoint,

Hi Mark, I noticed a message from one of our members where the display name was set to their email address. It's our policy that the display name is set to their real name and I do this as I Direct

Due to use of smartphones to read email, a lot of people nowadays only see (and therefore only act on) the first paragraph of an email. Might be good to condense the text in the confirmation emails.

Hello, The email is coming from 148.163.139.74, which isn't Google. It appears there was some sort of DNS hiccup from them yesterday. I believe it was temporary. Thanks, Mark

If the confirmation emails had <groupname> instead of <groupname>@groups.io in the body, then no email reader would interpret it as a mailto link. Better yet, make the link amailto that matches

I'm not sure there's a way for GIO to do that. Many email services/clients automatically linkify things that they think are mailto links (and URLs.) You'd have to disable that in your email

Aha! Looking back, I see that this issue originally showed up when testing from Gmail. It turns out that the confirmation mail link issue disappears when using Outlook Mail ! Microsoft apparently

Umm, I haven't touched the code. I do try to take weekends off. I'm not always successful, but I was, more or less, this past weekend. :-) Mark

The mailto links in the subscribe and unsubscribe confirmation emails are gone. The group name is now given in plaintext, instead of as a link that attempts to submit a post. Now the member has only

Curt, Heh. But even in an unmoderated group that allows non-member posts, a posting from a non-member is always held for moderation. So the "exposure" would be limited to the co-owners and

We're very close to this stuff. We know that sending a note to a group is submitting a post. Folks new to email forums may not know that. "Anyone that follows the instructions won't have a problem.

Suggest "Manage My Subscriptions" be at the top of the pull-down of "Your Groups" instead of at the bottom. It takes extra scrolling to get to the bottom in order to get to it if you have a lot of
