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

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
