Hi Amit,

nowadays every telephone company offers email push service via sms.
So forward the mails for your special users to handynum...@telefoncompany.com
and ask your users to enable the push service in their account.
They will get the whole mail via sms.

Regards

Peter

Install procmail and formail (if they are not there already) and filter  
incoming messages to inject a new message to the users  
phonenum...@sms-messaging-address (available from their carrier) that just  
has the Subject line. An example .procmailrc in the user's directory would  
be:


# .procmailrc
# routes incoming mail to appropriate mailboxes
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=/path-to/vpopmail/domains/DOMAIN/USER/Maildir
DEFAULT=/path-to/vpopmail/domains/DOMAIN/USER/Maildir/new
LOGFILE=/path-to/vpopmail/domains/DOMAIN/USER/procmail.log
SHELL=/bin/sh
VERBOSE=yes
SUBJ=`/usr/bin/formail -c -xSubject:`

:0
* $ ^to_u...@domain
{
 :0
  | /usr/bin/formail -X  \
  -AX-Loop: u...@domain \
  -ISubject: ${SUBJ} \
  -iContent-Type: \
  -iContent-Length: \
  -IFrom: User's Name u...@domain \
  -ITo: phonenum...@sms-messaging-address \
  -IReturn-Receipt-To: \
  | /path-to/qmail-inject
}

Procmail will take some tweaking for your environment and testing but I  
thought I would send this since I have done essentially the same thing ...  
good luck.


PS I just realized I did not add the From: line but you can parse that  
using formail just as I did with the Subject line and add that to the  
outgoing message somewhere.
