I can't use procmail since i am not in possesion of the computer that runs the pop3 service. I solved it by writing an email notifier using perl that sends sms when new mail arrives. (running it periodically, and the script connect to the pop3 and compares its messagebase to the pop3 server messages and sends sms messages of the difference mails. in short - an email notifier.) here it is if someone is interested: http://tx.technion.ac.il/~tzahi/pop2sms it uses sendsms so you need it if you want to use it.
this version(updated since yesterday :) includes the format - subject:body(from). anyway, perl is not bad. i managed to write this script while not having previous knowledge in perl in one day. * - * - * Tzahi Fadida MSc Student Information System Engineering Area Faculty of Industrial Engineering & Management Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Technion City, Haifa, Israel 32000 Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Tzafrir Cohen > Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 11:28 PM > To: Tzahi Fadida > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: sendsms email notification. > > > On Sat, Aug 09, 2003 at 06:06:41PM +0200, Tzahi Fadida wrote: > > Hi all, > > does anyone know where can i get a script that checks my mail for new > > messages and send me an sms notification when a new one arrives? > > (with sendsms) > > Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's wrong with procmail? > > Do you want to be notified about every new message? > > It should probably be something like (untested): > > :0c > |run_sendsms > > -- > Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ > http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
