Adelle,
This is useful advice, and a good reminder to look at security issues
in general. 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. Any views welcome.

Can I clarify that if you use your own smtp server and that then uses
an external public ISP you should also be OK. By running

Please be aware of the risks of enabling e-mail on your region and

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
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.

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!
