LlamaServer fixed

[chrispedersen]

Thanks llama....

The weird thing was that I could ping / traceroute to your server. I could go to the admin pages. I just could *not* get the turn submitted.

We all know email is best effort....

But, perhaps I could make one small suggestion to the llamaserver.

Have a Env Variable - Hostable?.
Have a keep alive email send - say every 5 min or so.
If the llamaserver doesn't receive its own keepalive email it disables hosting (postpones all games) until 30 minutes after email reception returns.

This would prevent games from hosting in at least some instances where email couldn't be received.

Alternately, you could do keep alive pinging. Choose 2-3 well known ip addy's such as 4.2.2.2. Test for the return. If you can't receive ICMP returns - delay hosting.
