Default Re: Turn Notification eMail from XP Dom2 Server?

  • Well, I do not know what is meant my this w/GSS encyption capability of BLAT, but at least it works with my default freemailer (web.de), which refuses unauthenticated smtp...sorry.
  • My PC is set to hibernate after 1 hour to increase the WAF. If a player wants to play, they usually have to send an ordinary WOL-magic packet with a third party tool to wake the PC from hibernation (suspend to ram doesnt work properly on my old desktop), wait 2 minutes for booting and then connect via Dom2 as usual. Since my players mostly connect after work within a similar timeframe, not every player has to wake the PC himself.

    Since WOL and waiting for boot is disappointing if no new turn is available, I was desperately looking for a tool to notify a player, so that they can be sure to play...
  • Hmm, I tried the -xxx option to reduce CPU usage, but it still prevents Windoze from dozing (hibernating). On the other hand, I am a bit concerned that a connected player does not produce enough load to stop the system from hibernating while he is connected. This is messy... :/
