Description
email2sms is an easy-to-install, free SMS gateway. All you need is a Developer Garden account and an IMAP mailbox. E-mails sent to the specified IMAP mailbox are then filtered and subsequently sent as SMS texts if necessary.
Detailed Information
The daemon, which is written in Ruby, queries an IMAP mailbox at user-defined intervals. Unread e-mails in the mailbox’s INBOX folder are retrieved and sent through an extendible filter chain. The message is only sent as an SMS when it has successfully passed through all the filters.
email2sms is remarkably easy to use. An e-mail is sent to the relevant mailbox. The recipient’s phone number appears in the subject line, while the e-mail message itself becomes the text of the SMS.
Filtered messages or messages that have caused an error are stored in special mailbox folders. The filter chain has a subject filter that expects a password in addition to the recipient’s telephone number. This makes it possible to ensure that only intended e-mails are forwarded. New filters that can analyze or change incoming e-mails can be expanded with ease. This means that email2sms can be easily adapted to individual requirements.
