Instead of sitting at the computer all day to see if any come in to my mailbox, is it possible to somehow use Exim in such a way that once an e-mail comes in to a specific e-mail account, it will also send a quick SMS message to another e-mail address saying something like "You've received an inquiry"? I know that I can certainly setup Exim to mail the full message to multiple e-mail addresses (as I already have in place) - but I only need a simple message sent to a secondary account. Otherwise, if the whole message is sent to the SMS text e-mail address, the cellular network will have to split it up until many messages.
Yes.
"unseen" Router just before the real delivery one, sends an email to the
email-to-sms gateway you're using, and set "headers_only" so that the
body is not sent. If you want some of the body, then instead set
"transport_filter" and use a command which strips the content to the
headers and then "X" amount of the body.
Or change the existing Router to use "shadow_transport" and
"shadow_condition" to invoke an external command that does whatever's
needed.

Thank you Phil. I just discovered that problem last night. I was getting text message notification - but the e-mails were not in my inbox! I then added the 'unseen' as you indicated and that took care of it. I use Horde as a webmail client and use the Vacation feature - and I had a transport/router for Vacation. Vacation would allow a reply to be sent to the person that send the message indicating someone is out of the office - and deliver it to the mailbox properly. I noticed it had that 'unseen' flag so after adding it to the textmessage router, that fixed it.
