Help on sending email to SMS phones and back

The following link shows
how to send an SMS message via email. For US providers, this is a fairly straightforward list:

• T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net


• Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com


• Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com


• Cingular/AT&T: phonenumber@mmode.com


• Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com


• Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com


• Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com


• Alltel: phonenumber@message.alltel.com

where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number

When using rimo, Cingular/AT&T users
should prepend a "1" in front of the phone number.

rimo 0.2 ALPHA released

rimo lets you execute commands on Unix based systems via an email from a known address sent to an IMAP4 account. rimo is designed to be run as a cron process; rimo scans the IMAP4 account for new rimo email messages and executes the command specified in them. The scanned email messages have their flags set to "seen" so that subsequent scans will not re-execute the commands. The intent of rimo is to allow for job dispatch and control via non-traditional clients such as a cell phone.
