My mail client was sending mails using "html" format.

usually mail client include both html and plaintext into separate mime parts, this situation must be handled properly.

but if your mail contain only html part - it will not work, sorry.

Hello Edo,

I already solved the problem, it was because i diddn't use "plain text" mail.
Like you already told, html only will not work.

I'm having some issues getting email2sms to work on an Ubuntu 12.04 with Postfix.
This system will have to do one thing. Accept mails in the format <number>@some.domain and push them out as SMS-messages.

I looked at exim as the threadstarted stated, but I can only find exim4 as package and I have no clue where to put the config directive.

As for postfix, from what I figure it's not pushing the emails in the pl script. When I manually run the script there are no errors.
Mails are fed into the system via Exchange2010 with a transport rule that's relaying all mail send to "sms.local" to the IP of the SMS gateway. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Ok, I made some progress.

I added "sms.local" to the mydestination line in the main.cf but now I'm getting

Command output: Can't call method "as_string" on an undefined value at /usr/local/bin/email2sms-ucs.pl line 103, <STDIN> line 100. )

What's the last piece I'm missing? :-)

Hmm.... It seems like MIME::Parser module is installed, but does not work as expected.

In Debian this module is located in libmime-tools-perl package (I think Ubuntu uses same package name).
Do you have libmime-tools-perl package installed? What version?

First I installed MIME:arser via CPAN, after your post I tried to use the ubuntu/debian package but the issue remains thesame :-/

Running libmime-tools-perl 5.502-1

I found something else. The user HAS to exist in the /etc/aliases of postfix, otherwile postfix will fail with a "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table" error.

Again, I would be perfectly happy if you can tell me how to setup exim4. I really don't care all that much about the mailserver It just has to accept mail for EVERY address (phonenumber) and push it out to smstools.

Just another update (I can't edit messages after a certain period of time).

I ditched postfix. It's an anoying little **** :-)

Using exim now with a config i copied from somewhere on the web.

when I run: "email2sms-ucs -n 324xxxxxxxx2 < /usr/local/bin/testmail" from the console I get the sms. I tried running this as the exim user and it works.

However, when I email. I can see that exim is pushing the mail towards the script. But it dies with some obscure error.

2013-03-12 18:00:01 1UFSYT-0006UD-7u ** 324xxxxxxxx2@sms.local R=receive_router T=sms_pipe: Child process of sms_pipe transport returned 255 (could mean shell command ended by signal 127 (Unknown signal 127)) from command: /usr/local/bin/email2sms-ucs

What am I doing wrong here?

exim config:
primary_hostname = sms.local domainlist local_domains = localhost:sms.local domainlist relay_to_domains = hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 received_header_text = Received: by $primary_hostname id $message_exim_id acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt never_users = root host_lookup = * begin acl acl_check_rcpt: accept domains = sms.local accept authenticated = * begin routers receive_router: debug_print = "R: receive_router for $local_part@$domain" driver = accept domains = sms.local transport = sms_pipe no_more begin transports sms_pipe: driver = pipe command = "/usr/local/bin/email2sms-ucs -n $local_part

exim runs script from unprivileged user. Does this user has rights to write to the smsd spooling directory?

I suggest "addgroup Debian-exim smsd" as a solution.

Hi edo. Thanks for getting back to me.

I tried running the script as the Debian-exim user and then it runs. Only when the script is executed via mail the error occurs.

Script works well, thanks. I need subject in sms as well, script use only body from email. Can somebody help me change script please?
