Route to SMS Based on the Recipient Address

Last updated March 2020

When a specific email address appears in the To header, you can map the email address to a phone number.

Create a Lua script named changeSMS.lua and save it in a directory that is in the Lua search path—/opt/msys/ecelerity/etc/conf/default/policy, for example. Be sure to add the script to the repository as described in Best Practices for Manually Created Policy Scripts.

-- This script is setting the RCPT TO of the message based on the recipients preference.  For the purpose of this demonstration
-- the system will use the RCPT TO address to look up the preference in a static table provided below.  If the preference is 'email'
-- the message will unaltered and delivers to the supplied email address.  If the preference is 'mobile' the RCPT TO will be
-- rewritten to the mobile number as follows <mobile>@smpp.mblox.com

-- Subscriber preferences are stored in the prefab table defined below.  The table columns are
--        email    localpart  email domain  preference  mobile#   mobileDomain
