Subscriber Online Sender Versión 1.10.1

The Subscriber Online Sender (OLS) is a mailing list management accessory device for automatically sending Instant Messages (IMs) and delivering inventory items (e.g. notecards, landmarks, textures, objects, etc.) to a list of avatars. The OLS will wait until the recipient is online before delivering.

Online delivery has a number of advantages:
• Greatly reduces the number of failed deliveries due to IM capping when avatars are offline.
• Reduces your need to make manual deliveries in response to "I didn't get it" IMs from customers
• Increases the odds your customers will notice and accept the delivery and/or read the IM.
• Reduces system loading because it only delivers to avatars that are online (typically less than 20% of your mailing list).

Some of the key features of the OLS include the following:

• Fast loading (300 records per minute) of subscriber lists from Subscriber Kiosk
• A Subscriber Kiosk is not required. Notecards can also be used to add or delete subscribers
• Sends inventory item(s) and optional IM to subscribers when they are online
• Can also send an optional advisory IM to offline subscribers
• Programmable sending and online/offline polling rates to optimize performance versus resource loading
• Option to send everything to both online and offline subscribers immediately or after a programmable period (e.g. 24 hours, 1 week, etc.)
• If loading from notecards, they can contain, names, keys (UUIDs) or mix of both (one per line)
• Capacity of up to 10,000 subscribers. Only two prims.
• Permissions are mod, copy, no-trans (scripts are no-mod)
• Statistics display (Total records, Offline IMs sent, Deliveries, Pending, and estimated average online detection time)
• Real-time hover text display of loading, scanning, and delivery progress
• Capability to query delivery status and time stamp for any subscriber
• Can display list of subscribers and time stamps by delivery status, e.g. offline IM sent, delivery made, pending, or full list.
• Supports operation by designated Administrator(s)
• The OLS and associated Subscriber Kiosk can have different owners.

Special Notice: There has recently been a proposal to disable the LSL script function used to obtain avatar online/offline status (see https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4823) because it does not respect avatar privacy settings. Due to overwhelming opposition to this proposal, Linden Labs has decided not to make any changes to this function at this time. If this LSL function is completely disabled in the future (which seems unlikely), the OLS online status checking feature will no longer function. If this function is modified to respect the privacy preferences set by individual avatars (which seems more likely) in a way that requires a modification to the OLS, I will provide script updates at no cost.
