mail2sms converts a single (large) mail to a tiny text with contents from the mail. Perfectly suitable to send as an SMS message to a GSM telephone.
This program acts as a filter and can optionally run another program and pass the filtered data into it.
This program features:
-
regex search/replace, abort on regexes, conditional regex rules,
conditional output, conditional whatever actually ;-), change output length,
control output format, full MIME mail support (including
multipart/alternative), conditional runs dependent on date/time,
splitting up the output in multiple output parts and more!
This program can not actually send any SMS by itself.
| 5th February, 2003 | Version 1.3.5. Security fix. If you use 'run' with $message in your mail2sms config, you should upgrade to 1.3.5 from any previous version. You could be facing a security problem otherwise. |
| 13th June, 2002 | Version 1.3.4. Another set of minor bugfixes. |
| 13th Nov, 2001 | Version 1.3.3. Four minor bugfixes. |
| 6th Apr, 2001 | Version 1.3.2. Two minor bugfixes. |
| 12th Feb, 2001 | Version 1.3.1. The new 'exit' keyword is introduced. |
| 9th Feb, 2001 | Version 1.3. Core dump removed, 'filter' expression added. -l now overrides 'logfile'. |
| 19th Oct, 2000 | Version 1.2.1. Added the -l switch and made the config files get parsed in a more sensible manner that makes -n work even if not as the first option! Added the man page in web version. |
| 18th Oct, 2000 | I put mail2sms 1.2 up on the web. The 1.1 really didn't work well. I'll wait a little before I announce this more than like this to give me some time to verify functionality first. |
| 17th Oct, 2000 | Released mail2sms 1.1. Made some rather major improvements in very little time, if I may say so myself. I do hope to get some feedback on the new stuff! |
| Made better separate web pages for the four main documentation files. I added this news title and made a lot of general cleanups on the web pages. |
Note! The abort keyword is changed, modify your config files when upgrading from 1.0 or earlier!

Several people asked me for a script to use for a mail-direct-to-any-phone mail alias, so now when I rewrote one, I decided to put it here:
-
smsmail.pl - you better read the perl source and
modify some of the defaults and addresses to suit your own environment!
Yes, there's a mailing list for mail2sms discussions, help and all such issues:
Thanks to sourceforge.net, we also have a CVS repository from which you can get the very latest mail2sms sources, or just browse the changes with your browser. Try either one, pick what suits you.
I feel I really must mention Smash by Björn Stenberg and me. Smash uses a client/server concept with an easy, ASCII based TCP/IP protocol (to allow easy porting of the client to any kind of platform), plugins for different operators/protocols and more. Currently supports 17 something operators! It is fully free and open, join the smash project today!
