G'day, I'm new to all this bot stuff and was wondering if someone could tell
me is it possible to make a bot that will sned mulitple telle to people?
Like send a telle to all the people on your contact list at once.

Any help would be really great as I have to send over 200 telle at time and
it takes forever.

cya and thanks in advance,
dbd.

Not positive, but I don't think the sdk supports teles right now

[View Quote] According to the docs, the entire contact-list mechanism
is not implemented in the current rev. And there is no
method for sending or receiving telegrams.

If I had to send out 200 messages, I'd go to one of those
free listserv joints like onelist.com and create a mailing
list.

I had an email correspondance with Roland on this very issue and it
is mass spamming of telegrams that he is worried about...thus, one
of the reasons telegrams are not yet supported by SDK.

Yeah ture but some of us don't spam. The reason I wanted to know was because
I send out a heap of teles to people about birthdays that are coming up
telling them where we can make cards.
But I suppose it's the few that do spam that have ruined it for the rest of
us.

Thanks for the help.

Well, mass spamming is *one* of the things I am worried about, however there
are also several technical issues that would need to be resolved in the
client and server before bots could be able to send telegrams at all.
