well, first i already wrote it so it doesn't matter :). second, why should i d/l the file to my comp when all i need is the header. anyway, an added bonus of writing it, is the ability to customize it for my needs, and so i did. in addition, sendsms was in need of updating for pelephone users, which i can thanks nadav for that. as for using other script, i asked a week ago in the list with no replies, and searched but didn't find any. in any case if i did found one surely it would need to be changed to work with sendsms properly with the write lengths and whitespaces.
as for the pop3check reference tzafrir now sent to the list, a simple command execution is not enough since i want to customize the from subject and some of the body and this complex C program is just an overkill. 100 lines are enough: http://tx.technion.ac.il/~tzahi/pop2sms as for the frequency of mails, of course i am not going to use it on this mailing list ;), but my personal mail recieves few emails a day that are important to me, and i want to be notified when they do. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Oleg Goldshmidt > Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 12:09 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sendsms email notification. > > > "Tzahi Fadida" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > I can't use procmail since i am not in possesion of the computer > > that runs the pop3 service. > > It seems to me that without procmail your notifier will be usable only > if you get no more than a few emails a day.
