[Opensim-users] SLoodle in OpenSim: Email module

[Adelle Fitzgerald]

Please be aware of the risks of enabling e-mail on your region and that
it could be used for spam purposes. It would be very easy for someone to
write a simple LSL script to fetch a whole bunch of e-mail addresses
from an external database/website and then loop sending each one a spam
message. IMHO, enabling SMTP on a region should only be done if you can
control the flow of mail at your SMTP server, and do not use a public or
ISP SMTP server as you have no control over it.

 

My suggestion if you do have access to your own SMTP server is to create
a rule where the sending domain can only be sent to destination domain,
and no other. By doing that it will minimise the risk of spam messages.
The first thing spammers do is see if a relay is open before they flood
it with spam. If they try and get no message through, they will move on
to their next target. Alternatively, running an SMTP server in a closed
environment with no external access would be ok.

 

Adelle.

Hi Andy,

In order to get emails working through the llEmail() LSL function, you
need to configure the following section in your OpenSim.ini file :

[SMTP]
    enabled = true
    internal_object_host = lsl.opensim.local
    host_domain_header_from = 127.0.0.1
    SMTP_SERVER_HOSTNAME = smtp.yourdomain.com
<http://smtp.yourdomain.com/> 
    SMTP_SERVER_PORT = 25
    SMTP_SERVER_LOGIN = smtp_user
    SMTP_SERVER_PASSWORD = smtp_password

Replace your current SMTP section in the OpenSim.ini by the code above.
You need to provide your own SMTP server information and it should work.

Regards,
Olish.

Hello! I'm trying to use SLoodle in Opensim! I have setup my Opensim
server and it is working fine. I have also loaded the .oar file of the
Sloodle set. Yet when I try to configure the sloodle set to connect to
the moodle site (by touching it in the 3D world) I get an error:

SLOODLE Set 0.9 (RC1) -- COMPLETE (Fix 1.0): llGetNextEmail: email
module not configured

 

Anyone know how this issue can be resolved? Thanks!
