    My RedHat/Fedora RPMs include an SMS notification patch which can be used
    with Squirrelmail / AvelSieve. Of course you need some external tool to
    actually send the SMS. See the README.notify_sms below and attached patch.

    README.notify_sms:
    ==================================================
    This package contains a notify_sms patch. It enables you to implement
    SMS notifications using sieve scripts.

    The following changes to the cyrus-imapd config files are needed:

    in /etc/cyrus.conf, enable notifyd like this:
    notify cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/notify" proto="udp"
    prefork=1

    in /etc/imapd.conf, enable sieve notifier like this:
    sievenotifier: sms
    sendsms: /usr/bin/mysmsprog [default: /usr/bin/sendsms]

    The sendsms program is called with the following parameters:
    [sendsms] -u <user> -p <priority> -o <options>

    where <options> usually includes the destination number.

    A sample /usr/bin/sendsms script for testing is shown below:
    #!/bin/sh
    {
      echo "args" "$*"
      cat
    } >> /tmp/sendsms
    ==================================================
