### SMS
|
|
|
|
StatusNet supports a cheap-and-dirty system for sending update messages
|
|
to mobile phones and for receiving updates from the mobile. Instead of
|
|
sending through the SMS network itself, which is costly and requires
|
|
buy-in from the wireless carriers, it simply piggybacks on the email
|
|
gateways that many carriers provide to their customers. So, SMS
|
|
configuration is essentially email configuration.
|
|
|
|
Each user sends to a made-up email address, which they keep a secret.
|
|
Incoming email that is "From" the user's SMS email address, and "To"
|
|
the users' secret email address on the site's domain, will be
|
|
converted to a notice and stored in the DB.
|
|
|
|
For this to work, there *must* be a domain or sub-domain for which all
|
|
(or most) incoming email can pass through the incoming mail filter.
|
|
|
|
1. Run the SQL script carrier.sql in your StatusNet database. This will
|
|
usually work:
|
|
|
|
mysql -u "statusnetuser" --password="statusnetpassword" statusnet < db/carrier.sql
|
|
|
|
This will populate your database with a list of wireless carriers
|
|
that support email SMS gateways.
|
|
|
|
2. Make sure the maildaemon.php file is executable:
|
|
|
|
chmod +x scripts/maildaemon.php
|
|
|
|
Note that "daemon" is kind of a misnomer here; the script is more
|
|
of a filter than a daemon.
|
|
|
|
2. Edit /etc/aliases on your mail server and add the following line:
|
|
|
|
*: /path/to/statusnet/scripts/maildaemon.php
|
|
|
|
3. Run whatever code you need to to update your aliases database. For
|
|
many mail servers (Postfix, Exim, Sendmail), this should work:
|
|
|
|
newaliases
|
|
|
|
You may need to restart your mail server for the new database to
|
|
take effect.
|
|
|
|
4. Set the following in your config.php file:
|
|
|
|
$config['mail']['domain'] = 'yourdomain.example.net';
