  • CHANGE: When a bouncing user visits the website, they are now directed to a special page which lets them change their email address or send a bounce probe email. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/104774546#msg37751
  • CHANGE: We now always send an email notification to a member when they RSVP to an event, regardless of what the RSVP is. Also, events with a max number of attendees now also have ICS files formatted with METHOD=REQUEST so that members can RSVP directly in Outlook and other calendars. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/37722

March 5, 2024

  • CHANGE: Switched DKIM signing to a 2048-bit key, as required by iCloud and others.
  • CHANGE: Strip any 'ARC' related headers from incoming group emails.
  • BUGFIX: In some instances, when uploading a directory to the Files section, one of the files would be rejected if it was at the top level.
  • CHANGE: For group messages, we now change the Date header to be the current date/time when we send the message to members. This is because some mail servers will reject messages with a Date that is too far in the future or past. We do not modify the Date header as it is stored in the archives.
