well, sendmail will accept smtp traffic...assuming your network is set up
properly. Also, there's a wap interface for wsm that's supposed to let you
do that...but i think that part's 5.x and up. Have you considered the
security implications of having a program that resets passwords in response
to a simple email?

Subject: mail and aix/unix servers
I have found out how to use the Unix mail program in AIX to send messages
to my work email and cell phone and such:
mail -s "subject" 8888888 < file_name_with_message
Now my question is knowing that is there anyway or any other Unix mail
program which can accept email from another mail server other then another
Unix server. My AIX system can receive mail from another AIX server and it
can send messages but it can't receieve messages from like my cell phone or
work account for instance. It would be great to be able to reset users
passwords, or create users by typing in the command on your cell phone then
sending it to the AIX system then having a daemon listen to one of the
mailboxes in "/var" and then perform the command I send from my cell phone.
Any ideas on how to get Unix to receieve these type of messages? Thanks!.
