Hi, Thanks a lot for the plugin Robin, but since I'm new to perl it found difficult for me to understand it. If it is possible could you kindly explain that what each line is used to do.
I'll be very much grateful to you if you could kindly help me at your earliest convenience. Cos' I'm in a great hurry. I've to find a solution (plugin) to accept an email, Extract the From address: Subject: Names of the attachments(if any): Date: Time: Message Body: & To Address(e.g:[EMAIL PROTECTED]): , Check the receiver's credit limit and whether he has activated this service. If either one or both fails forward the mail to his email account and drop it or if both of them are yes then, Include all the extracted data except To address: into sms (160 characters per sms) - max sms limit is 10., extract the nine digits from the To address: and add a 0 in front (e.g:0123456789) and send the sms's to the receiver by forwarding them immediately or by sending them to a mail queue. This is the procedure which the plugin is required to. Please help me with it. Make sure you describe the lines of the plugin with comments because I'm very new to perl & qpsmtpd. Thank you.

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). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Council Member E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 #!/bin/bash CONFIGFILES="/etc/rogerssms ~/.rogerssms" if [ -z $NUM ]; then for i in $CONFIGFILES; do f="$(eval echo $i)" [ -e $f ] && source $f done; fi if [ -z "${NUM}" ]; then echo "Phone number not set!" 1>&2 exit 1 fi TM="$(cat -)" SPACECMD='sed "s,^[[:space:]]\+,,g;s,[[:space:]]\+, ,g;s,[\n\r], ,g;s,[[:space:]]\+$,,g;"' SPACECMD="tr -s '[:space:]' ' ' | ${SPACECMD} | tr -s '[:space:]' ' '" HEADERS="$(echo -n "${TM}" | formail -X '')" BODY="$(echo -n "${TM}" | formail -I '' | eval "$SPACECMD" |egrep -v '^$' )" SUBJ="$(echo -n "${HEADERS}" | formail -c -x Subject | eval "$SPACECMD" )" MSG="$(echo -ne "${SUBJ} ${BODY}" | head -c140)" #( ##echo "Message ($SUBJ):" ##echo "---" ##echo "'${BODY}'" ##echo "---" ##echo "Length: ${#BODY}" #echo -e "(${#MSG}) \n'$MSG'" #) >>/tmp/rogerstest URL='http://216.129.53.44:8080/cgi-bin/send_sm_rogers.new' EMSG="$(echo "${MSG}" | sed 's, ,%20,g;s,\n,%09,g;s,\t,%09,g')" #echo $MSG #echo wget --post-data "msisdn=${NUM}&text=${EMSG}&SIZEBOX=${#MSG}" "$URL" >>/tmp/rogerstest #wget --post-data "msisdn=${NUM}&text=${EMSG}&SIZEBOX=${#MSG}" "$URL" -q smssend rogers.sms ${NUM} "${MSG}" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
