Anyone know if nowsms can do this? A company with unlimited virtual email mobilenumber@mycompany.com. Configure nowsms to auto login to master email master@mycompany.com every 1 min (all email send to anynumber@mycompany.com will forward to this master account), check for any new email. If yes, route to 2-WAY sms in using prefix *@* and on command execution, capture mobilenumber and SMS out as email alert to user mobile accordingly. The current MMSC SMTP setting has a feature to set "Domain Name for SMS E-Mail", not sure if this is the one, but no way to set scheduler to auto login and check any new incoming email. Or to key in incoming mail server and login/pw for that master account in the above case. | |||

Hi, Yes, this is generally possible ... but not in the same way that you describe. Let me explain ... There is no polling of a mailbox. NowSMS appears as an SMTP mail server. So it is listening for e-mail messages, just like an SMTP server would. You would need to forward these numbers to the NowSMS server via SMTP ... or setup a separate domain (e.g., sms.mycompany.com). In most cases, this involves having your mail server see NowSMS as an SMTP mail server that it relays for. There is a rather detailed discussion of this setup here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/3451.html 2-way SMS is used for routing a message sent from SMS to an e-mail address. SMTP is used for routing an e-mail message out to SMS. | |||

Hi Bryce, when nowsms smtp got a new incoming email phonenumber@company.com, it pull the phonenumber and alert the user by sms, works great. But instead of doing this, we like to it to execute a script and perform any tasks we want (like save to database, etc), possible? Route it back to the 2way SMS or similar concept. | |||

Unfortunately, I can't think of any good way to do that. We don't apply any rules processing to messages received via e-mail. You might be able to find an e-mail server that could act as an intermediary ... receiving the e-mail first, allowing you to execute a script, and then forwarding the e-mail to NowSMS. But I don't have enough experience with different e-mail servers to have any product to recommend for this purpose. | |||

Try using Mercury email server, it's completely free and works great (www.pmail.com) | |||
