Mark posted some additional info a bit ago, https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/25150  Have them check the links he posted for details.

Thank you so much for responding.  I checked with the user, and she is getting this message on all devices.  Computer, ipad and phone.  Time/Date settings on all devices are accurate.  I'm going to check in with her later and see what else we can do to try and resolve.

Have her check her system time and reset it if inaccurate.

This is a big clue right here.

Yes! I have a user in my group having this exact problem, with this exact date of 5/20/2020!

When I look at the logs that is the last message sent to her, with no errors or bounced messages.

Shal, I didn't think to look at the Email History before I changed all of them to Individual Messages in Subscriptions which, incidentally, have been received without any issue.

Since all the groups had activity, the History now shows the last Individual message for each so I have just changed them back to Daily Summary. I will have to wait until the next Daily delivery cycle in the morning.

FYI, the Message Trace utility on O365 includes all spam and emails rejected due to SPF, DKIM and/or DMARC failiures so it is somewhat like searching the raw connection logs of a email server.

Also, I didn't see Switching to summary from digest until I posted my query but it speaks about this very issue. It is very odd that some people seem to be unaffected.

Hi all,

This week's change log:
https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/25133

Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.

NEW: You can now toggle between the existing gallery view and a new
list view in the Hashtags page.

Love it. Much easier to read at a glance.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

INTERNAL: Work towards supporting notifications.
BUGFIX: The timezone listed when viewing an event or in the calendar
popup sometimes did not match the text when creating the event (the
UTC offset was the same, just the city names could be different, but
correct).
SYSADMIN: Prep work for adding a second email server.
INTERNAL: Sped up deletion of photos and files when deleting a group.
CHANGE: Formatting changes in the subgroup listing page.
INTERNAL: Re-wrote several web templates to address some technical
debt issues.

Please call out any you find significant.

Shal

Sigo,

Is this related to the problem some on my list are having of getting
double messages?

Not likely. Perhaps you could start a new topic to explain what your
members are experiencing.

My first thought is to ask the affected members to check the very bottom of the footer on two such messages - next to the Unsubscribe link is the email address to which that message was sent.

If those are different then the mystery is solved, and all that remains is for them to unsubscribe the excess membership, or change its Email Delivery setting to No Email (or Digest, or Summary, or Special Notices).

If those are the same, then some digging into the message header of such a pair might help resolve how this is happening.

The groups I own are set for Individual Messages. I seem to be receiving all Individual messages without any exceptions. I know because I checked what I received against the groups.

However, I have not received any Daily Summaries for any group (such as GMF or beta) set as "Daily Summary" since my last receipt on 5/20/2020 at about 6 AM CT.

As a company owner with 30 years of network administration, I subscribe to Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise Exchange services for maximum cloud flexibility.

I did a Message Trace directly on my Exchange mail server (which checks the database and logs thereof) but no messages from Daily Summary groups have been rejected, which means the messages were not transmitted to our mail server or even attempted.

Has anyone else noticed this with groups that have "Daily Summary" set? I was thinking I should try Individual messages on those groups for a day and then change it back on Sunday to see what happens.

Is there any way to change that email...

The confirmation email is not modifiable by the group Owner.

...or ask them in some other place to send their Display Name in the reply?

As Frances said, the "some other place" available for you to customize is the Welcome notice (or for Restricted groups, the Pending Subscription notice).

Likewise, if they could add their Display Name as a parameter to the +subscribe email, that would do it too.

Nothing in the message body of a +subscribe email is parsed for anything...only the From address.

The same confirmation email is also sent to someone who clicks the "Join This Group" button on your group home page without first logging in, so to have this work for everyone additional input fields would need to be added to that popup dialog.

Maybe I'm missing something here...we just rolled the group out into production with Direct Add this morning.

If you're using Direct Add, you can populate the Display Name at the time of adding by using the format:

Of course, this only works if you already know that person's name. 

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks for the quick follow-up, Frances!

Yes, I saw those messages but I am trying to eliminate the extra email required to gather that info from the new subscriber.
If that Confirmation email could be customized to ask for it before the new subscriber clicks on Reply, that would solve it.
Likewise, if they could add their Display Name as a parameter to the +subscribe email, that would do it too.

A pilot group of our club been kicking its tires the last couple of months so it's still a learning process.

Thanks again,

If they just reply, we only get their email address added to our Member list, which we then have to look up in our club's database then manually put in their Display Name.

Have you checked out Admin, Member Notices?
You can create a Welcome message. Ask them to add their display name. Give instructions.
Of course you can also use a Pending Subscription Notice.

On MediaWiki wikis, categories provide convenient places to find out more information about similar things. For example, from the Yahoo! Groups Wikipedia page, I can click on the category link at the bottom:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Electronic_mailing_lists

to find out more information about other related services and software. It's an incredibly powerful data organizing tool.

Best,

Glenn
P.S. Maybe someone needs to write a Wikipedia page on groups.io?

Steven 

Not sure what you mean by “group” them?
Can you elaborate or provide an example?

I use a Wikipedia extension on another forum and I’ve not run across “categories” and maybe I’m missing something (a benefit) that is critical?

And yet I have had one of my groups set to summary using a spare email address as a test since we started with groups.io

It has always arrived including just now

Why would it work with one group and not others?
