You would need recent dbmail (2.1 dev or 2.2 when it's out) to support the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sieve features, and really for autoreply, too (it is present, but has broken behavior in 2.0). There are other ways to do this, too. > Someone said in an earlier mail to this list something about setting > up my MTA (Exim) to do this. Does that sound like a possibility? Right, you could have your mta grab a copy of the mail and do something with it. I've done this using snpp, not sms, in a few different ways with postfix. One way (in dbmail or postfix) is to make an alias entry that sends your email to a script. We have one domain for which email is solely for sending to a text pager, for that I made a the domain's transport send everything to a script that did the snpp. In one other setup I have a dedicate user account for processing certain mail .. I made a transport for just that one account, and grab mail from some others via virtualmaps that forwards here. From what I recall, I think the reason to use transports instead of just an alias for that user is because you have access to more info, specifically smtp envelope addrs, which I pass to the script via the commandline. > I have SMS on my cell phone, I am able to send messages to it via the > smssend software (Freebsd port misc/smssend) without charge from my > phone company (Rogers in Canada).

This would be another method, but has nothing to do with your dbmail or mta configuration at all. Here you'd just have your monitoring script run periodically and send off your sms message. If you don't want a message sent for every email you receive, this is probably the route you'd need to take. (You could of course combine them .. have your mta send a copy of all mail to some script that collects the pertinent info, then have another script run periodically to send it off in sms). -- Jesse Norell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kentec Communications, Inc.
