FoxBox SMTP gateway utility allows you to send email to SMS recipients, simulating a standard SMTP server running on your machine and converting email to SMS message. This utility is really useful when you have to convert a software sending just emails to a fully SMS enabled application, and you CANNOT use the integration methods described here: Email to SMS integrated gateway function This application is born for a FoxBox user that asks for a special integration of his software in this scenario:
1- The customer application runs on a PC without internet connectivity;
2- The application only allows to send email through a SMTP server;
3- The customer cannot setup any email account, and he would like to simply send an email to the phone number of the receiver, that becomes an SMS message with the body (or the subject) of the email. For example: email recipient:

email body (in text format): LOREM IPSUM LOREM IPSUM LOREM IPSUM FoxBox Gate covers this case completely. Just download, unzip and run the application on the system. Then, in the "Configure" window you have to specify the IP of the FoxBox, the username and password, the SMTP port that the server has to use, and if you want to convert the body or the subject of the email.
After that, in your program specify as SMTP localhost (or the IP of the machine running the server) and the port you provided before.
Sending an email to

will automatically send out an SMS to the number XXXXXXXXXXX using the body or the subject of the email.
 Obviously you can use EVERY standard SMTP client application as MS Outlook®, Apple mail™, Mozilla Thunderbird and so on.
Optionally you can setup on your DNS a MX record that points to the IP of the machine running the gateway, for example create a CNAME of your domain: CNAME mobile.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com.
MX mobile.yourdomain.com this will cause that email messages sent to

will be diverted to SMS messages. You can download it here, choose the right OS type:
