That would need a deamon to be run on the host and most providers 
(especially the free ones) don't allow this. But it could of course be 
something that some users (those with shell access to their box) would 
find userful.:-)

True, but support for mms like b2evolution does it would be nice. I live 
in Germany and one MMS costs 39 Cents (regardless of its size), but if i 
send 100 kb from my phone via email (standard gprs) i'll need one of the 
plans with more included traffic, if i don't want to spend all my money 
on this :-) also prepaid users don't have that option ... AND: you said 
it would be best to have a smtp-server (first paragraph), so why not a 
script that acts as mms-gateway :-)
