AFAIK to be able to send emails through that gateway, you MUST be sending the email as the user which signed up for the account on the respective website of each telco.
At least, thats how vodafone handles it in europe.just a heads up. your mileage may vary.--On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 4:34 AM, Carl G. Kuczun <ckuczun@comcast.net> wrote:

I was asked today to see if I could have emails also sent to cell phones as text messages. A perfectly reasonable request since we all live by our cell phones. I know that I can send an email to my cell phone by appending the cell phone carrier's text messaging email domain to my phone number. For example, if I send an email to the address 18005551212@vswpix.com it will be delivered by Verizon as a text message to the phone. Every carrier has their own text message domain. Here is a partial list:Alltel: phonenumber@message.alltel.com
AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.netCingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
Qwest: phonenumber@qwestmp.comSprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
US Cellular: phonenumber@email.uscc.netVerizon: phonenumber@vzwpix.com
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.comSo - how could this be implemented using DadaMail? I would like to add a subscriber field where people could enter their cell phone number if they would also like to receive text messages. There are some problems:1) The phone carrier would would also need to be identified. Can a subscriber field be a combo box where a list of providers would be presented?2) The carrier text message domain would need to be appended to the phone number to make the "email address."3) Can a single list entry have an email also sent to another email address from a subscriber field? I could manually add the phone "email address" as a second entry in the list, but that raises subscription and unsubscription issues.This might be outside the responsibilities of DadaMail, but I thought I would start my quest by presenting the issue here. Any thoughts on this? Are there other ways to send emails to text messages?Carl K.Post:

This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -
If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards
To post to this list, send a message to:
dadadev@dadamailproject.com
All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.
Some on topic... topics include:
- Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
- Bug/Error reports
- Bug fixes
- Request For Comments on any changes to the program
- Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
- Patches
- Language Translations
- Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
- Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -
At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.
Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/
Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.
Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.
NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
