Plugins

Plugins make it possible to attach external applications to Ozeki Message Server. Each plugin offers an interface, such as a database server that can be used to pass outgoing messages to the message engine. Of course these interfaces also make receiving of messages possible. Currently Ozeki Message Server contains the following plugins:

Colour SMS plugin
The colour SMS protocol was introduced by the Hungarian GSM service provider T-Mobile to pass incoming SMS messages to 3rd party content providers in HTTP requests. The applications operated by the content providers return a response SMS message in each HTTP request. This plugin implements this functionality.
Database plugin
With the help of this plugin you can use a database server to send and receive SMS messages. The plugin connects to the database and checks a database table periodically for outgoing messages. If an incoming message arrives it inserts it into another table.
File plugin
The FILE PLUGIN plugin makes it easy to send and receive messages using text files. When an incoming message arrives the plugin creates a text file for the message. If you would like to send a message, all you have to do is place a text file into the outgoing directory.
HTTP Client plugin
The HTTP CLIENT plugin takes incoming messages and passes them in an HTTP GET or an HTTP POST request to an external webserver. The HTML page returned by the webserver can contain SMS messages, that will be sent by the server.
PHP plugin
The PHP plugin makes it easy to build a script that can process incoming messages and create response messages. In this plugin you have all the functionality PHP offers.
POP3 plugin
With the help of this plugin you can use a standard e-mail client, such as MS Outlook Express to download your incoming SMS messages.
SMTP plugin
With the help of this plugin you can send SMS messages from a standard e-mail client, such as MS Outlook Express. This plugin is often installed along with the POP3 plugin which makes receiving of SMS messages possible.
TCP plugin
With the help of this plugin you can connect TCP/IP clients to the Message Server to send and receive SMS messages.
Appstarter plugin
The appstarter plugin can start applications and run scripts on your computer when an incoming message arrives.
Autoreply plugin
The autoreply plugin makes it possible to reply to incoming messages and to forward these messages to various phone numbers based on the sender address and the message content.
Tester plugin
This plugin generates random outgoing SMS messages. Good for developing and testing services.
