RE: email2sms

Hi Andreas,
 
Of course, just write a program (perl, shell, php, whatever) and create
users with the mobile phonenumber on you mailserver (SMTP). If you use
sendmail you can add an entry to the /etc/aliases with a pipe and then
the path to your program. If your sendmail server uses smrsh you will
have to create a symbolic link in the /etc/smrsh directory to your
program and add this in the /etc/aliases instead
 
The program you need to write receives the email as the argument and you
will have to concatenate the contents (or split it up in parts) to send
it over SMS. Just use the TO emailadres (before the @-sign) as the
recipient and call the /cgi-bin/sendsms url of your Kannel installation
to sent it (as either POST (HTML/XML) or GET. 
 
Hope this helps you a bit.
 
Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the contribution about how to configure
Kannel for sms2email... I would like to ask is it
possible to do the other way around, I mean email2 sms
?.

Thanks in advance..




thats possible but more tricky because the sender can send attachments,
send the text as HTML which can be encoded in a variety of ways. So the
decoder would be aware of all the method's. We currently do it in an
external application where we have those decoding functionalities in a
plug in.
