Hi Donald,
That thought crossed my mind as well, but there is nothing that indicates a Premium plan should be necessary for this. You need to be Premium to directly add members yourself, but it says nothing about someone in the Support department transferring them for you. My bigger concern is the complete lack of email response from support.

My own email, which is on GoDaddy, too often bounces when sent to Groups.io with a 550 error "This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504" My solution was to change my outbound email smtp server to our SMTP.com account, which has a high deliverability rate.

Re: GoDaddy's email forwarding system appears to be intermittently blocking all emails from GIO's IP address.
This verges on idle speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if this issue were not a side-effect of the covid crisis that has moved so many people online. Throttling discourages spammers, but it is also a way of preventing DOS on marginally overloaded message processing servers. GoDaddy could be having scaling issues and responding by lowering their throttling thresholds until they can put more capacity in play. I've heard that a lot of dark fiber has been lit up in the past two months to carry the increased traffic, ISPs would be the next in line to deal with increased volume. I expect to see more problems like this until the scaling issues are worked out.
Best, Marv

Re: GoDaddy's email forwarding system appears to be intermittently blocking all emails from GIO's IP address.
Curt, Reason: mailstore1.secureserver.net: 550 5.1.0 <66.175.222.12> This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504 <http://x.co/rlbounce> Correct. The reason is specifically a complaint that Groups.io's outbound server (66.175.222.12) has sent too many messages. 2. My only active GIO subscriptions are for [GMF] and [beta] -- so I'm not getting that many messages from GIO at this address. The throttling being done by GoDaddy is based on total message delivery from Groups.io, not just messages to your address. 3. This is the only post I have done on GIO for months -- so outgoing GIO posts from me are not the problem. Correct. A problem with outgoing from you would not appear in the Email Delivery History. It would be sent back to your Inbox as a "mail daemon" notification. 5. We're not having a problem getting messages from Yahoo Groups or other sources. GoDaddy likely raised their limit for Yahoo Groups long ago. Perhaps other specific senders as well. Someone at GIO needs to contact GoDaddy and get GIO's IP address(s) permanently off their spammer list. Someone (Mark) has tried, but hasn't been able to reach anyone there:
"Email to GoDaddy/Secureserver is still being throttled and I have not had any luck contacting them as of yet." https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/24798 If you know of a way to escalate the issue with GoDaddy please do.

GoDaddy's email forwarding system appears to be intermittently blocking all emails from GIO's IP address.
Curt Gowan, HPAA Operations
GoDaddy's email forwarding system appears to be intermittently blocking all emails from GIO's IP address.
Got the excellent "Your Groups.io Account Is Bouncing" email. Clicked to see the excellent "Recent Bounces" page. Here's a typical entry on GIO's "Recent Bounces" page for this account: When: Apr 27 Message: #31388 [GMF] Posting super slow; 6 emails rfor approvals, then nothing pending on site....on and on. Reason: mailstore1.secureserver.net: 550 5.1.0 <66.175.222.12> This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504 <http://x.co/rlbounce> All of the dozen entries for Apr 27 (and the entries for Apr 26) give the same reason. Data to dimension the problem: 1. This address is working fine for other sources of email. 2. My only active GIO subscriptions are for [GMF] and [beta] -- so I'm not getting that many messages from GIO at this address. 3. This is the only post I have done on GIO for months -- so outgoing GIO posts from me are not the problem. 4. Got the same message from GIO on April 14. Was on a crash project. Sorry, only did the unbounce and didn't report it. 5. We're not having a problem getting messages from Yahoo Groups or other sources. Many individuals, nonprofits, and small businesses have domains on GoDaddy and use their forwarding mechanism. Someone at GIO needs to contact GoDaddy and get GIO's IP address(s) permanently off their spammer list. Thanks, --cg

Re: Subscriber being removed for marking message as spam
Wayne,
One subscriber has been removed 4 times in the last 2 days forAnd so it begins. This will be a new experience for Comcast users, owing to a recent change: "I was finally able to establish contact with both Comcast and Cox and got the throttling lifted. As part of that, Comcast asked that I subscribe to their FBL (Feed Back Loop) service. An FBL is how we get notified when someone marks an email of ours as spam." https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/24798 He says he has not marked any messages as spam.Some providers, and now apparently Comcast is one, will report the user for marking a message as spam when in fact all that happened is that their system delivered a message to the user's Spam folder, and it lingered there until it was automatically deleted. To avoid that the user must mark the message as "not spam" before it ages out. So the advice to Comcast users (and those of other affected services) is to periodically prune their Spam folder to make sure there are no Groups.io messages in there.
