+===== Forwarding emails via SMS to a group of recipients =====
+This guide illustrates how to forward an email to a group of SMS recipients, previously defined in FoxBox address book, using the SMS gateway.
+Note that to use this plugin you will need to download and install the package //sqlite//, launching from terminal these commands:
+<code>
+apt-get update
+apt-get install sqlite
+</code>
+The first step is to place the script //email2smsgrp//, downloadable [[http://www.kdev.it/email2smsgrp|here]], inside of the folder // /etc/sms/scripts/ //.
+Remember to make it executable, giving it right permissions.
+Then you have to replace the link to the older script in // /etc/.procmailrc //with the new one:
+<code>
+Original: /etc/sms/scripts/email2sms
+Modified: /etc/sms/scripts/email2smsgrp
+</code>
+Finally, you have to create the files needed by the script (giving them right permissions) using the commands:
+<code>
+touch /var/log/iterator.txt
+touch /var/log/numbers.txt
+</code>
+To complete the installation, reboot the device.
+Now, every time you will send an email like the one in the example below, it will be automatically forwarded via SMS to all the recipients belonging to that group:
+<code>
+Subject:
+   TOsms
+Body:
+   From: YOURNAME
+   To: GROUPNAME
+   Text of the message
+</code>
+:id1: Remember to activate the "SMS gateway" from the Control Panel.
