Hi All, It looks like the subscribe by email approach is working well for non-Google users which is great news. Unfortunately all it's not yet perfect, a few subscriptions are failing when I attempt to confirm the pending request with the googlegroup server reporting that it can't confirm the

Hi Robert, many thanks for this research. Works perfect :-) I'm subscribed now on osg and vsg lists. - Werner - Am 06.04.2021 um 15:21 schrieb Robert Osfield: > On Tue, 6 Apr 2021 at 13:39, Rizzen > wrote: > > The message is correct in how I joined this email

Good day Robert, The message is correct in how I joined this email subscription group without using a Gmail address. Is there an email subscription group for VSG? Rizzen On 06/04/2021 13:31, Robert Osfield wrote: Hi All, I have feedback that the email subscription route is working for non

Hi All, I have feedback that the email subscription route is working for non google account users, so I have updated the introduction message for the osg-users googlegroup. Could folks review what I've written and let me know if it's clear, links look correct etc. Thanks, Robert -- New welcome

There appears to be a perception that you can only join the osg-users group using a Google account. This isn't correct, plenty of folk have already joined using non google email addresses. I did a search online about subscribing and came across the suggestion of using a url in the form:

Hi Robert, I followed your suggestion by replacing "myid" by my mail address, which isn't registered for a Google account. There was no error message and I was forwarded to the Login page. But logging in with the mail address failed with the message: "Your Google account could not be found"

I have come across a trick to ban all addresses except ones for a specified domain, I've applied this, and will see if that fixes the deluge of subscription requests. This will however reject all new subscription attempts. At best it might provide a short term breather to give folks more time to

Hi Werner, I am aware that google groups is far from ideal, falling back to at all is really a sign of how poorly the developer world is served on the support front. Hopefully, one day there will be robust and easy to use/support alternatively for forum/mailing list support so we can migrate

Hi Robert, you have my full understanding. It's a pity with bots, spam, hate etc. in the Internet. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to escape the data octopus Google. I refrain from using Google Mail, Office, Calendar, Addressbook and others.  If you use it, you have to agree in taking

Hi All, I have managed the osg-users mailing list for two decades with little issues along the way, it mostly has just looked after itself. Alas today is the last day as it's become an attack vector for bots to an extent that it's swamping my support work. I'll be deleting the list later today,
