# 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
## installation
### dependency
- python3
- python3-aiosmtpd
- python3-pydbus
### setup
Install the dependency and mms2mail (on debian based distribution):
```
sudo apt-get install python3
sudo apt-get install python3-pydbus
sudo apt-get install python3-aiosmtpd
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cp mms2mail ~/.local/bin
```
To enable the daemon mode in systemd user :
```
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
cp mms2mail.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable mms2mail

Depending on your distribution, you might have to add your account to the ```mail``` group to be able to lock and use the system mbox.
On Debian based distribution :
```
sudo addgroup $(whoami) mail
```
### config
An optional configuration file can be put in the home folder : ```$HOME/.mms/modemmanager/mms2mail.ini```. The default value are :
```
[mail]
mailbox = /var/mail/$USER ; the mailbox where mms are appended
user = $USER ; the user account specified as recipient
domain = $HOSTNAME ; the domain part appended to phone number and user
attach_mms = false ; whether to attach the full mms binary file
delete_from_mmsd = false ; delete mms from mmsd storage upon successful conversion
[smtp]
hostname = localhost
port = 2525
```
## usage
### reference

mms2mail [-h] [--disable-smtp] [--disable-mms-delivery] [--force-read] [--force-unlock] [-l {critical,error,warning,info,debug}]

### Sending MMS
To send MMS, mail address not in the following format would be ignored :
```+123456789@domain``` with phone number in international format.
#### 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
```
