You're still going about this the wrong way. 

Find attached the shell program that I used to use with my cellphone,
before my cell-provider changed their email to SMS gateway (to always
send a very annoying message "You have recieved an email from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
reply with yes to read it")

I was originally calling it the attached program from a .qmail file,
then later procmail so that I could do some special filtering on it
first. In both cases, the email is discarded afterwards instead of
stored.

The core problem, is that there are much better tools than qpsmtpd to
select the 160 characters that you wish to send. My script simply
prepends the content of the subject line to the message, and then takes
the first 140 characters (limit of my cell provider).
