I just followed up directly with one of the subscription requests and they
did reply to the confirmation email, and checking the same address - it's
in the membership list.  This suggests the googlegroup error that I got on
clicking to agree to subscription may not be a sign of complete failure.

I don't know what this means, hopefully it'll become clearer.

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 address.  This seems to be happening
for a range of addresses, initially it looked random but now I've had two
separate subscription attempts from the same domain fail right after each
other with the same error so it's starting to look like some domains aren't
playing nice with the googlegroup server for some reason.

Three of the addresses were US gov domains - could that be a connection?

If your subscription has failed then please email me directly on
robert.osfield at gmail.com.  I am hoping that I'll be able to just
subscribe to you directly.  Knowing a pattern of which types of domain fail
could also help with figuring out a solution.

Cheers,
Robert.

Hi Robert,

many thanks for this research. Works perfect :-)

There's been a vsg-users google group for a couple of years, but no
instructions for how to subscribe without a google account.  Now I've got
the confirmation that it works I've added the same instructions to
vsg-users:

https://groups.google.com/g/vsg-users

Seems like a perfect opportunity for folks to test that I updated the links
correctly :-)

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?

Re: [osg-users] Closing of osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org, please subscribe to osg-users googlegroup

Hi All,

I've approved a number of new subscription to the osg-users google group
today, most went through OK, but two requests failed when I clicked to
approach, groups.google reported the error message:

"1 request couldn't be approved
We're unable to send a notification to this person about the action you've
performed"

I don't know what the actual cause was - could be something as simple as an
invalid address being used. Unfortunately the entries disappeared with no
record for me to follow up on the addresses, so if your attempt has failed
let me know and provide details about what method you used for subscription.

Conversely, if you have successfully subscribed today with a non google
account let us know what method you use so that others can follow this same
approach.

Cheers,
Robert.

The link I provided earlier wasn't consistent, I copied and modified one I
found on the web and it looks like the actual link address didn't update
correctly.  I think this should be the correct link:

I haven't seen your email address on the new subscriptions list - I just
OK'd 4 new join requests, 3 were for gmail addresses, one from a non gmail
address so it should be possible.

I am sure joining a google group without gmail used to be more straight
forward so it does look like google have been trying to hide/exclude all
the obvious ways.

I will keep hunting for a good solution.

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:

http://groups.google.com/group/osg-users/boxsubscribe?email=myid

If you still are struggling to subscribe then I can manually add your email 
address.  Just email me directly and I can add you.

The trick of banning everyone from joining the old osg-users looks to have 
stopped the flood of dubious subscription requests so for now the immediate 
issue of me being overwhelmed with support work is over, but it's just a 
short term hack as it bans everyone, including genuine requests.

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" (translated myself)

So I'll wait if just the login fails and I get messages from the list or if 
everything failed.

Will keep you informed.

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 get subscribed to the osg-users google group.

I can't create an account either cause it asks

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 over.

In the case of the google group, it isn't limited to gmail addresses/google
account you can subscribe with any email address you want.  Most of the
existing osg-users google group subscribed email addresses have nothing to
do with gmail.

Cheers,
Robert.

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 your privacy into public.
By using Android it's not possible to uninstall useless Google apps and you 
have to allow
access to your addresses, calendars, messages and a lot more. You cannot get 
updates
without having a Google account.
I cannot even create a new fantasy account for the mailing lists because under 
the hood
they are all merged and form an overall knowledge about my personality. :-(

But sure, it's convenient - no question.

It is also clear you cannot fight against this Internet spam on your own lists. 
So sad ...

But the osg list was always an extremely valuable resource for my development 
and
the vsg list will be the same for me in future. So I have no choice.
