Hello Angus:
DBMail can handle your mission but the Short Message Service (SMS) cannot be
used directly by anyone except a carrier.
DBMail will auto reply. DBMail development version will accept
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and you can autoreply with DBMail on the mail to
user or in the case of sieve scripts, mail to mailbox or user. Several
possibilities in other words. DBMail current *2.1-dev* sieve-capable variant
is nearing release as V2.2 Stable hopefully in summer as I understand it but
stay tuned.
That said, you may have some misconceptions about SMS. Carriers capable of
converting SMTP-to-SMS will receive, convert and pass along mail messages
usually with the "C"-phone full number as user @ a subdomain of the
carrier's TLD. Some carriers pass the message directly (160 char limit) and
other send a signal to the user's device asking them to connect to the
service to fetch the message for a small fee. There are other arrangements
that can be made like codewrapper on message sent to a server on a
specified port which cause the SMS message to be sent directly from the
carrier's server to the recipient's device. You must make arrangements with
the service providers on a per-carrier basis in the region you wish to do
this within.
The aspect of Short Message Service you are interested in is called Point to
Point (SMS-PP) and is currently somewhat defined in Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM) recommendation 03.40. This is not to be confused with
GSM 03.41 which defines the Short Message Service - Cell Broadcast (SMS-CB)
allowing messages (i.e.:ads, public information, emerg stuff and so on) to
be broadcast to all mobile users in a specified geographical area. In either
case messages are sent via a store-and-forward mechanism to a Short Message
Service Centre (SMSC) specific to the wireless phone service provider, which
will then attempt to send the message to the customer and possibly retry if
not reachable.
Best...
Mike

Hello all,
Does anyone know of a way to have a notification sent via SMS to a mobile
device when new mail is delivered to a specific mailbox?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you,
