Mail to SMS Gateway

Send your Email to SMS Service
H. Stadler, Version 1.0

Preface

MailSmsGateway is a simple interface between mailing and sms services (like smstools3).

Software details:

Operating System: Linux
Programming Language: Perl
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

How does it work ?
An email client sends mail messages to an email account. The email account can be located under a linux server (sendmail), Microsoft Exchange or any other email server.
You have now 4 possibilities to retrieve the emails and pass it over to the sms service (at the moment smstools3 is supported).

Under *nix systems:
- mailbox (standard email box under linux /var/spool/mail/<user>
- maildir (see FAQ: How do I create a maildir directory ?)</user>

system independent:
- pop3/pop3s
- imap4/imap4s

System requirements

To install the MailtoSMS Gateway software, you will need a System running Linux. Maybe other *nix systems will work too but not yet tested.

The gateway requires an already installed and runnable smstools3 (http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com).
