[hylafax-users] Mail to SMS gateway

[Walter Willmertinger <willmertinger@consys.de>]

In the hylafax FAQ there was a way how to send to german SMS pagers.
If someone is interested, I show a little shell script which is working with
postfix email.
1. Follow the instructions in the hylafax faq (look for "sms")
2. Test under unix if
            sendpage -p 017... "some small message"
     is working
3.
***** Cut and put to /usr/local/bin/smsmail und chmod +rx
:
SENDPAGE=/usr/local/bin/sendpage
PAGERPIN=$1
awk '
BEGIN { inhdr=1; MAXCHRS=127 ; SMS = "" }
inhdr==0 { strctr+=length($0)
                if (strctr>MAXCHRS) {
                        print substr(SMS,1,MAXCHRS)
                        exit
                }
                SMS=SMS " " $0
                linectr++; next }
NF>1 && inhdr==1 { if ($1 == "Subject:") {
                SUBJ=$0
                sub("Subject: ","",SUBJ)
                SMS= SUBJ
                next } }
NF>1 && inhdr==1 { if ($1 ~ /[A-Z]..*: ..*$/) inhdr=1; next }
NF>1 && inhdr==1 { if ($1 == "" ) inhdr=1; next }
NF==0 && inhdr==1 { inhdr=0; linectr=0 }
' |  tr -d '\177-\377'  | $SENDPAGE -p $PAGERPIN
************** END OF smsmail


4. Add the transport mechanism to /etc/postfix/transport
        sms.yourdomain           sms:localhost
5. Do a postfix reload
6. Now you can send from any windows client a mail to e..g "01721234567@sms"
7. Note only 128 characters are allowed and all special characters "Umlaute" are
deleted for simplicity.
8. Similar mechanism should apply to sendmail or qmail. Maybe someone does the
job!
