I got e-mail to go but it's sending about 50 messages every time someone
walks into the room. So many messages that the e-mail service blocked
me. I'm trying figure out how to stop this but I don't want to
experiment and get kicked off of my mail service. Can anyone help on this?

You don't need to send an email from motion. You need to send an email
from a script, then run that script from motion, so how to send the email
is nothing to do with motion.
