+ | ===== 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. |
