Maybe a Imail program alias? User sends a msg to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
box, which is an pgm alias. The pgm behind the alias reads the msg
contents and sends an SMS msg.
The security and accounting issues are not to be ignored. ie, how do you
authenticate senders as having access to the SMS mailbox (spammers could
cost you a ton in SMS charges!!) and block those that don't, knowing that
all SMTP msg headers are not to be trusted, are spoofable? how do you log
the SMS sending service, to prove you sent a msg? to bill the msgs
sent? how do you handle "wrong numbers"?
I just went to google.com, entered "sms" in English, and got this URL as
first hit, vbg:
http://www.mtnsms.com/
google.com is getting me great results for techie type stuff.
