Subject: [exim] Send SMS Text Message Upon Incoming E-Mail
Hello all,
Appreciate you taking the time to look at my question.
I have a site that receives inquiries on. Instead of sitting at the computer
all day to see if any come in to my mailbox, is it possible to somehow use Exim
in such a way that once an e-mail comes in to a specific e-mail account, it
will also send a quick SMS message to another e-mail address saying something
like "You've received an inquiry"? I know that I can certainly setup Exim to
mail the full message to multiple e-mail addresses (as I already have in place)
- but I only need a simple message sent to a secondary account. Otherwise, if
the whole message is sent to the SMS text e-mail address, the cellular network
will have to split it up until many messages.
Thank you!

OK - I managed to this out myself. This is perfect for anyone that wants to be
notified via an SMS text message on their phone if you get an e-mail in your
account. I'm sure there is a better way of setting this up so it is scalable
and can work for multiple accounts, but this was a quick way to set it up based
upon only one e-mail address.
I created a new router and a new transport:
Router:
textmessage:
debug_print = "R: text message for $local_part@$domain"
driver = accept
condition = ${if eq{$local_part@$domain}{[email protected]}}
transport = textmessage
Transport:
textmessage:
driver = autoreply
debug_print = "T: text message for $local_part@$domain"
to = <e-mail to send to>
from = <e-mail from>
text = "<SMS text message here>"
