Notes Mail Interface documents provide a means to end user and systems to send Sms messages
by simply sending an email. Sms4Domino extracts the text and destination from the mail and
delivers it as one or - in case the text is larger than the max size of a single Sms - more Sms
messages.
Requests for sending Sms messages are created by sending an e-mail to <name>@<gsm
number>@<smsdomain> or <gsm number>@<smsdomain>. Domino mail routing routes the mail to
the foreign domain <smsdomain>. A Notes database (e.g. sms.box) must be linked to the domain.
The Notes Mail Interface reads the mails from the foreign domain mailbox and sends them out as
Sms messages.
In order to use the Notes Mail Interface a foreign mail document must have been configured in the
Domino directory. The procedure is explained in detail in the Domino help file. A short description is
included in the Sms4Domino help file.
The Notes Mail Interface may also be used for processing Sms messages received from the mobile
network (inbound Sms messages). Inbound Sms messages are converted into Domino mail
messages and may be delivered by Notes mail to a user. Sms4Domino currently uses following
algorithms to determine the destination for the Sms:
Fixed routing: all Sms messages received from GSM number <gsm number> are route by

mail to the mail address <recipient>
Fixed routing based on message content: Sms4Domino reads the text of the received Sms.

For example, you configure that "all messages containing **John** must be routed to Lotus
Notes user John/Acme"
Auto matching: this is best explained by an example. Assume John/Acme sends a Sms via

Sms4Domino to Paula (Paula@0475321825@sms). When Sms4Domino receives a Sms
from Paula's GSM within a given timeframe, Sms4Domino assumes that it is a reply for John
and will send an e-mail to John/Acme.
However if Paula is very popular and receives over a short timeframe Sms messages from
John/Acme, Bill/Acme and David/Acme, Sms4Domino is not able to determine the
destination for a received reply from Paula. In that case zero, one or more conflict handlers
may be used. Following conflict handlers are available:
Most recently used: suppose John has sent a Sms to Paula@0475321825@sms at
o
8:00 AM and Bill has sent one to the same number at 3:00PM. At 3:30 PM a return
Sms is received from 0475321825. Sms4Domino routes the Sms to Bill's mailbox.
Most frequently used: suppose John has sent 10 Sms messages to
o
Paula@0475321825@sms during the last week. Bill has sent 1 Sms message to
Paula@0475321825@sms during the same period. When a return Sms is received
from 0475321825, Sms4Domino routes it to John's mailbox.
Send to all: John, Bill and David have sent Sms messages to
o
Paula@0475321825@sms during the last week. When a return Sms is received from
0475321825, Sms4Domino routes it to the mailboxes of John, Bill and David.
Send to Sms4Domino administrator: Sms4Domino detects a conflict and sends the
o
message (or just an alert) to the Sms4Domino administrator(s). The administrator
may take manual action by forwarding the Sms.
No forwarding: the Sms is kept in the system and should be forwarded manually. These Sms

messages are displayed in the view Operations -> Received - no match.
Specific settings for Notes Mail message
Database server & filepath: Name of the server - filepath of the sms.box.

Leaving both fields empty corresponds to the control database being used as
o
sms.box. This is the only acceptable setting for this release .
Leaving the server name empty corresponds to sms.box on the same server as the
