Agreed. They are heavily rate limited to deter spam so they're not great for mailing lists. >I don't see how to overcome either of these limitations. Maybe there is >a way. If you actually want to send SMS, you need to pay for it through one of the many SMS API services. It costs on the order of 0.7c/message to US numbers which seems pretty cheap to me, but I suppose that depends how valuable you think your lists are. Trying to integrate directly with mailman would be a nightmare, but you could easily set up a kludge where people subscribed separately to the SMS forwarder, subscribe a special local forwarder address to the mailman list, and then tie a script to that address that takes the contents of the messages and passes it to the SMS API. (Stripping out all the extra cruft, of course.) -- Regards, John Levine, jo...@iecc.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
