TOPIC:

As a VP of Education I frequently use the 'members' e-mail to contact people and they respond to volunteer or discuss things. I have had 2 members mention that they couldn't reach me although later they could.

Just now I sent a message to members and received the following (since I am one of the members and on the list).

Check the spelling of the email address in the message. You are being told that email address does not exist.

there was miss spellings of my This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. it had This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I looked on our club website and the members list. My gmail was correct there. As I understand it, that membership list and the checking of who is an officer, would be the source of e-mails used for the 'members' e-mail list and the 'officers' e-mail list.

I also checked my listing as the administrator of the website and that was also correctly listed as This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

I am not computer savvy and don't know where else to look to find where the system is getting the wrong address from.

I know I could have typed it wrong somewhere-I have caught myself doing that in the past. The trouble is, I can't remember making any such change in the last several months so why would the system suddenly have two different wrong addresses and 2 members and myself with 'members' e-mail be having such a change?

Is anyone else having their addresses corrupted?

Thanks again for any information. Kathy Vielhuber Madison Achievers 1521807

Nope, If the system was corrupting email addresses, they would not still be readable, they would be total rubbish.

Kathy,

Just send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (sends to yourself) If you get it, then you should be good to go.

Did you check both emails in the members profile?

when your message appeared, it didn't read to send myself an e-mail as vpe, it read

I didn't see your message until later when I went to the URL.

I did try e-mailing vpe and that worked-got the test mail and the confirmation as well. I also looked up member profile and found on address there, it looked good.
On member profile, though, I only saw one e-mail listed so I am not certain if you meant there would be 2 in member profile.

I also on the member drop down, I selected the tool to send an e-mail and that worked-I got the test e-mail and a confirmation e-mail.

Does the spam bots message mean I should contact the Geek squad?

No email addresses are hidden like that when you read forum messages through your email. Some things from the messages will not completely come through to your email.

You seem to have some "dummy" members set up in your members list (Ceremonies, Place Holder and Training Speech), all with email addresses that appear to be variations of your address. If you use those only for filling roles on your agendas, you can leave the email address blank. The system will insert a dummy (noemail) email address which won't be reported as an error. If these are invalid email addresses, you will continue to get error messages when sending messages to your members, as the system is attempting to send to them to those addresses as well.

The invalid email addresses weren't reported until recently.

Thanks, I'll try removing those e-mails-I didn't think to check those
