ApplicationsHi,
IF using Bonjour for chatting it does not support Group Chats.
There is also no ink between iMessages and Bonjour other than being Account types within the same App. (i.e. everyone should be on iMessages)
I use Little Snitch which is an App that can ask and Allow connections that apps make, telling you which Ports and IP addresses it is trying to connect to.
These are some of the related processes.
The highlighted one is for iMessages and as you can see it also uses identyservicesd to check the the Login details.
Any other sort of Firewall should not block these processes.
My own personal experience is that the Mac version does not allow people to join chats that have been started or to leave a group chat.
It seems this feature has not made it across from the iOS version where you can leave a group chat and rejoin if required.
I would also try Safe Boots and reset the NVRAM on the effected devices.
