# mms2mail

Mail bridge for mmsd.

mms2mail: 
* convert incoming mms from mmsd to mail and store it in unix mbox.
* provide a smtp server converting mail to mms with mmsd.

By default:
* store mails in the current user mbox (```/var/mail/$USER```) 
  * in case the mbox is locked by another process the output could be found in ```$HOME/.mms/failsafembox```
* listen on localhost port 2525 for mail

### Using with Mutt :
To be able to send mms with mutt you need it to be built with SMTP support. 
And and the following line in your ```$HOME/.muttrc```:
```
set smtp_url = "smtp://localhost:2525"
set ssl_starttls = no
set ssl_force_tls = no

```
