Group emails

Since moving to the new BT Mail my group emails are not working. I get a message saying the email addresses are incorrect. Do I have to re-enter all my groups? I have several groups containing between 30 and 55 addresses!

Hello,
Please define exactly what you mean by "group emails". A Distribution List? Multiple individual recipients? Something else?
Also, are you on Corporate/BES, or do you have only personal (non-BES) email accounts?
Thanks and let us know!

How can I send a group email to ensure privicy for recipients?

I am trying to send a group email to all my address contacts that does not show any other of the group contact information on the email. Can anyone tell me how to do this effectivly. I receive loads of emails each day from corporate groups that do this to me so I see who else they sent the mail to but I don't know hoe to do it to my contacts. Help please....

There is a potential security flaw in the BCC feature.
According to the conventions of the SMTP protocol, all addresses, including BCC addresses, are included in every email as it is sent over the Internet. The BCC addresses are stripped off blind copy email only at the destination email server. Therefore, if the addressee controls their email server or can access it, they could examine the BCC addresses on every email they receive.
Very occasionally, an email server will be misconfigured and not strip off the BCC list on email it sends to its local users, revealing the complete blind copy address field to users that receive the email at that domain. Therefore, BCC is very good but not perfect at keeping addresses confidential, and should not be relied on for the most critical and sensitive of communications.

How do I set up a new sub group email on the macbook ?

I will begin by freely admitting that I am not computer literate...I switch on and use. The present email has been in existence for so long I can't remember how it was set up, think the laptop did it by itself.
The problem...
I want to set up a sub group email address for the small club that I am treasurer for and then use this so members can pay subscriptions via paypal.
I followed the yahoo instructions to set a new email address and this was OK, the address is shown at the foot of the my account page on yahoo as the only sub group. ISP is BTinternet.com so that uses yahoo.
Easy so far.
Remember opening sentence !
How do I set up my existing email page to show when a message has been received on the new sub group email. I use macmail on a macbook , not PC outlookexpress. In other words, how do I open/access/show this new email on the macbook ? I don't want to compromise the existing email set-up, just have a 'secondary' or 'sub group' account.
Thanks
Brian

Yes, you just setup another account in Mail, on the Second page where it has Description you need another Name in there than the Other one has.

How to enable group email accounts

Hi all,
I have spent a while fiddling with (and breaking) my OSX Lion 10.7.4 Server install trying to get group emails working. I would just like to share how I did it.
Follow the below how to.
#!/bin/bash
# Group EMail Enabler v0.2
# Jeff Johnson <[email protected]>
# Tested with OS X Server 10.6 and 10.7
# Should also work with 10.5
# This script allows you to manage email groups using Work Group Manager.
# If you create an executive group in WGM, you then have a executive@ email address
# This is automatically maintained as you adjust the members
# The script searches your LDAP groups for the word 'mail' in the comment field
# You must add mail to the comment field for any group which should have an email address.
# The email address for that group will be the shortname of that group.
# If you miss this step (add 'mail' to the comment field), this script does nothing.
# Known issues
# 1. Only supports groups in LDAP, users can be in LDAP or Local
# 2. Does not support other groups within your email group (no nested groups)
# 3. Almost no error checking, so best to run it manually a few times to check results.
# Installation Instructions
# 1. Save this file as
#       /usr/sbin/group_email.sh
# 2. Then adjust permissions
#       sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/group_email.sh
# 3. Modifiy alias_maps in /etc/postfix/main.cf
#    You need to add this line to what you already have
#        hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases
#     Example, you have:
#        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
#     Change to:
#        alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases
# 4. To run automatically every 5 minutes, I prefer a simple addition to /etc/crontab
#      you may need to create /etc/crontab if it doesn't exist
#      Add the following to /etc/crontab
#            */5 * * * * root /usr/sbin/group_email.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1
# If you followed these instructions, within 5 minutes you will see an alias file at
# /etc/postfix/groupaliases
# you can inspect the file to confirm the results.
cd /etc/postfix
# clear current aliases
echo "" > group_aliases.tmp
# Get list of groups with 'mail' in the comment field
gr=`dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Groups Comment | grep mail | awk '{print $1}'`
for group in $gr
   do
      echo $group: `dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -read /Groups/$group dsAttrTypeNative:memberUid | cut -d : -f 3 | grep -v "No such key"` >> group_aliases.tmp
   done
cmp -s group_aliases.tmp group_aliases > /dev/null
   if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
      echo different
      cp group_aliases.tmp group_aliases
      /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/postfix/group_aliases
      /usr/bin/newaliases
   else
      echo same
   fi
exit
The only additional thing I had to do with Lion Server 10.7.4 was add hash:/etc/postfix/group_aliases to the alias_maps AND alias_database in /etc/postfix/main.cf then run "newaliases" and "postfix reload"
Hopefully this helps the next person to get it all running quicker than I did
Cheers
Ryan

Hi Ryan, yeah 10.7.4 Lion Server - mail is swtiched on although we haven'y migrated to it yet (i do have the accounts setup though)

I've gone through it a few times and can't see any differences to the one you posted so am at a loss as to why its not working..
Thanks

Thunderbird will not allow me to use a group email I have been using for months, why and how do I do it please?

I set up a group email for people that I send an email to at least once a month, I updated Thunderbird when the update came up and now when I have gone to send the email it has told me that it must be in the form of name@host, not my Groups name. How do I fix this problem without having to put each individual email address in each month

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).

Can I send a group email from my iPod?

Occasionally I need to send email to my Sunday School class. It is easy to compose a group email from my computer, but the group names don't show up in my email address list on the iPod. I can select the group name and manually select each individual, but that is quite time consuming on a list of 40 people.
Is there a way to select the entire group on the iPod Touch?

You need an app to do that. There are a number of them, such as Speed Names.

How can I see the indivduals in an existing group email address - that I created

I have a group email address on Thunderbird that I created some time ago but have forgotten how to open it up to see who is on it - I need to alter it.
Thanks

click on 'Address Book'
A sub group known as a Mailing List will be a sub group to an address book.
If Mailing Lists are not showing, click on the small arrow to the left of the address book containing the Mailing List.
See image below - example shows I have a 'Test' Masiling list as a sub group to 'Personal Address Book'
Then select the Mailing list to see who is in that Mailing List.
Removing contacts from a Mailing list does not remove them from the associated address book.
Removing them from the associated address book will remove them from both address book and Mailing list.
You can drag and drop new contacts into a Mailing List, but they do need to have a valid email address.

New user. Need to know where my email contacts are on my macbook pro and how I can make a group email address

New user. Email contacts imported to MacBook pro from PC - but I'm unable to call up entire contact list or to make a group emailing contact.

Assuming you are using Apple's Mail application, contacts are managed via the Contacts application, in your application folder. As for various addressing methods, including groups, maybe this:

Attachments in a group email sent from outlook 2007 do not show in the message

iPad doesn't show attachments in a group email sent from a Windows 7 PC using outlook 2007. Doesn't matter what the attachment is, if it is sent to a group created in Outlook the attachments do not come through. Is this a bug in iOS? My Google Nexus 4 phone handles the attachments just fine.

''Toad-Hall [[#answer-670403|said]]''
<blockquote>
Is the 'in the clear' bar code number part of an image, it may be not shown because it was remote content?
What happens if you read the email using 'PlainText view' ?
'View' > 'Message body as' > 'Plain text'
Do you have anti-virus software scanning emails?
If yes, then switch it off to see if it is effecting the emails when it downloads.
</blockquote>
Thank you very much Toad-Hall. That is the information I needed. Perfect!

Is there a way to create a group email list?

I am trying to set up a group email list so I don't need to restyle addresses every time. Easy to do in Outlook but how do I do it on my IPad?

Unfortunately, that isn't possible in the iPad mail app or the contacts app. You cannot create groups or email to groups.
There are third party apps that will allow you to do that. I believe that MailShot and Group Email with Attachments will both let you create groups and mail to them. You can check them out in the App Store.

How do i create a group email?

How can I create a group email?

The native mail app in iOS does not support group emailing directly. You have a couple of options:
Search the app store for an app that does. there are a few.
Create a contact with multiple email addresses in the same email field (separate with semicolons). There is a limit on the number of characters the field will contain, and how many addresses this will work on don't recall exactly what that limit is, however). #1 is probably your best bet.

how do i create a group email address

Use your Mac's Contacts application to create the group. Then you can access the group name in Mail to send messages to.
Here's some material from Contacts' Help:
Organize contacts using groups or folders
Use groups and folders (for Exchange accounts) to organize your contacts by categories, or to easily send email to several people at once.
If you want a group that adds or deletes contacts automatically based on rules you define, instead of creating a group, create a smart group. For more information, see this help topic:
Use Smart Groups
Open Contacts
HideCreate a group or folder
In Contacts, choose View > Groups, and then select an account.
Choose File > New Group, and then name the group or folder.
You can also select the contacts you want to group, and then choose File > New Group From Selection.
HideAdd contacts to a group or folder
Select one or more contacts and drag them to a group or folder.
Contacts in an Exchange account can belong to only one folder at a time. When you use folders, any contacts that aren’t in a folder you create are in the default Exchange Contacts folder.
You can create subgroups or subfolders by dragging a group or folder to another group or folder.

How do I create a Group email list from my contacts??

I can't figure out how to create a Group email list from my contacts on my iPhone??

I thought that was how I did it before ( a year ago ) but the group is created in my Email software but the group won't synch to my phone?! However it will synch randomly - i.e. singular new emails synch from my phone to my computer, but I am not noticing the computer transferring data to my phone...same with calendar...hmmm, maybe that's the problem - issue synching anything entered into my computer first...anyone hear of this? It seems that this started about a month ago, I had to restore my phone and it would not restore with the most recent backup, so I had to go back a couple of back ups... since it has been glitchy! HELP!
