Send SMS using JavaMail API

U could always add your name to the list, but you will more than likely have more spam mails than lines of code.

I would also like to konw however if anyone knows of an open source project that is build a SMS API.

Or possibly is their a group of people who would like to get involved in trying to build an SMS API. It can be done and has been done, but you must pay between 2.5 and 5 cents per message and it only works in the states.

Which is no good for me and probably a lot of other interested parties.

You need to create two servers. A mail and an SMS server. The mail server retrieves mail, determines the recepients phone number and you pass this to the SMS server as an object. From the SMS server, extract the contents and send the message using SMS. You have to be connected to an SMSC (via dialup of leased line) or attach a GSM device or mobile phone to you computer to send SMS messages.

Likewise, you can also send SMS msgs to an email an email box. All you need is a parser to extract the email address from the text message and send the same using SMTP through your mail server.
