SMSserver - instalation and use
Installation and configuration are described on the download site.
- Configuration page suggests that you use syntax 'inbox=directory' while default configuration file installed (/etc/smsd.conf) suggests (and works with !!!) usage 'incoming=yes', where it uses /var/spool/sms/incoming directory as default (created during installation)
Database connectivity (linux to MSSQL)
Database querying and reporting to SMS
- I created php file that queryies database and writes information to a small text file.
- Entry is added to crontab that calls this php file regulary and so keeps information up to date (at the end of entry I had to add '> /dev/null', not to clutter root email spool with reports
- Another entry in crontab calls a script that parses new messages in /var/spool/sms/outgoing, does actions triggered by messages and renames / moves these messages
Sendmail Usage
- To forward mail to SMS we need first to accept mail
- (Did I really have to do this?) On Fedora I had to change sendmail.cf line
- SMTP daemon options
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA
- O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
- I had to add hostnames to file /etc/mail/local-host-names and restart Sendmail
