Paul Gray. You speak absolute sense. If you run a group you take on the resp[onsibility over what is published irrespective of legal requirements that vary across borders anyway. Its that lack of resp

My group goes back to “E-groups” in the early noughties and I stayed with Yahoo until they messed things up. In fact I styed rather longer as I couldn’t find an alternative. I got ripped off by anothe

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. One thing that is

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 of them r

Can I concur with the previous comments, seems we all appreciate a good product with support. That’s got to be worth paying for in all cases even if a small amount. John Wirtz

Andy, That’s absolutely correct. But it doesn’t include past members so a filter have been applied to exclude them. The csv has a membership status field that indicated “bouncing, “pending” etc. I’m s

Interesting stuff. However, these sites don’t talk about people not having names but rather how different cultures treat names. I’d expect the majority of groups her are pretty conventional in terms o

Christopher, I don't get this. Can you give me instances of a group that has members without names. I stress that should the mandatory option be available - I suggest it as an option - our group would
