llEmail

[Allen Partridge]

Is there a known issue with llEmail not completing the send?

[Graham Mills]

I could be wrong but I don't think it's enabled. I vaguely recall having a discussion with Ilan about it but it might have been on another board.

PS: Might help a little: http://www.kitely.com/forums/viewtopic. ... t=+llemail

llEmail confirmed as not working
(tested sending to gmail and my own email servers)

Hi Allen,

llEmail will remain disabled until we have time to implement rate limits to prevent people from using Kitely worlds for spamming.

[Allen Partridge]

Ah, okay. Seems like a really inefficient way to spam.

I guess i'll have to go back and make some programming / messaging changes in my gadgets. Are the other forms of outworld messaging disabled? Can I send http messages etc?

Ilan,

Does the system send any result back - identifying the llEmail is disabled? Just starting to think about how to handle different behaviors on different grids.

Hi Allen,

Without rate limitations people can use our Free Plan to send big bursts of spam emails at high rates and have us suffer the consequences. That's not a risk we're willing to take.

We'll be enabling osGetGridName and osGetGridNick in the next site update so you can check whether you're on Kitely on another grid.

You can use llHTTPRequest for outbound messaging. See: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlHTTPRequest

Cool - i understand the problem. Will see what i can do re the workarounds.

I just tried llEmail and seems to remain disabled. Can we expect to have llEmail enabled in the short term?

[Angel Feijoo]

Hi Angel,

I'm sorry but that is not something that we'll be enabling in the near future. You can, however, use llHTTPRequest to contact third-party services and use them to send you emails. See, for example, https://ifttt.com/wtf
