  • INTERNAL: Verifying DKIM sigs of inbound emails, currently in testing only.
  • BUGFIX: In some instances, when upgrading a group to premium with the annual plan, the monthly plan was selected instead.
  • SYSADMIN: Fix time sync in the Groups.io machine cluster. Very embarassing.
  • BUGFIX: Use the user's timezone when generating the 'On such and such' line for message replies.
  • NEW: Scanning emails, files and photos for viruses/phishing. Currently in testing.
  • CHANGE: For Reply To Sender groups, we don't delete any existing Reply-to headers.
  • NEW: Ability for members to repost messages, with configurable parameters, for premium groups.
  • CHANGE: Some domains will sometimes reply to emails with '550 This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504'. We now treat those as temporary errors instead of permanent errors, and retry again in an hour.

  • NEW: In the Edit File dialog, you can now replace the existing file with a new file.
  • NEW: Premium/Enterprise groups can now create aliases for subgroups (previously they could only create aliases for main/parent groups).
  • NEW: More anti-spammer work.
  • NEW: Premium/Enterprise groups now have a new Banned Domains tab. Emails from non-subscribers are rejected from banned domains, as well as registrations.
  • BUGFIX: Changed references to 'sub' to 'member' in the activity log to make things consistent. Changed several of the message actions to be more clear.
  • BUGFIX: For subgroups that are unlisted but with open archives, the feed link wasn't included on the group home page. Also, the archive description was incorrect.
