Delivery Server Issue

[Chellynne Bailey]

Well I did have a perfectly working delivery server, woke up this morning however to several angry customers who were trying to get their products... and a little bit of testing latter, I realize the delivery huds only work when I'm on sim. Which is weird, because I know I tested the things off sim and this is the first time there's been an issue.

Anyone have any idea why the email protocal may not be working?  Delivery HUD code:

string password = "<----secret---->";//The password you set in your server.
integer currentVersion = 1;//The current version of the product.

update()
{
        llSay(0, "Thank you," + llKey2Name(llGetOwner()) + ", we are currently checking to see if there is a product update available.");  
    llEmail(serverKey + "@lsl.secondlife.com", password + "|" + productName + "|" + (string)currentVersion, (string)llGetOwner());
    //Send the server the request.
    
    }

    on_rez(integer param)

    }

Any ideas? -confuzzled cause it worked fine before-

[Xiija]

no idea what is happening... did your server mebbe get a new key?

[Rolig Loon]

That's a good possibility.  If you took your server back to inventory and re-rezzed it, the key would have changed.

Update: Well after having given up on the problem...thinking..oh it's just SL being stupid today..maybe it'll work tommorrow... I went and worked on something else...and ran accross the answer.

Apparently objects can stop recieving Email occasionally and the only thing that fixes them is a region restart. Go fig, so thats working, much hair tearing out latter. Thank you for all the replys.

Bright Note: Totally learned more about how the Email functions work. So -throws confetti-

Eventually you'll likely encounter an ancient email bug in which even a sim restart won't get things going again -- but all is not lost: you can still revive the server by Wearing it, going to a different sim, returning, and then Dropping (not detaching) it. That step of entering the sim seems to re-acquaint the email dispatcher with the destination object.

(Oh, interesting, I see there's a newish jira for this bug. It's been around for ages, though, and the Lindens gave up on it before, so I'm disinclined to link the new report to the old, lest it suffer the same fate.)
