It is my understanding that you can still use an external ISP if you are doing it via a local SMTP server whose security you can manage at your end. Presumably it is also less of a risk, provided you can ensure only trusted individuals have access to your region as may be the case for private development uses.

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.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Adelle.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; padding-top: 3pt; padding-right: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; "><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:opensim-users-bounces@lists.berlios.de" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">opensim-users-bounces@lists.berlios.de</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[<a href="mailto:opensim-users-bounces@lists.berlios.de" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">mailto:opensim-users-bounces@lists.berlios.de</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Andy Konstandinidis<br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>10 December 2009 09:56<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:opensim-users@lists.berlios.de" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">opensim-users@lists.berlios.de</a><br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [Opensim-users] SLoodle in OpenSim: Email module<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">Thanks for the prompt reply!
