Part 1 - Application Setup
You first need to connect to our SMTP server using your ipipi.com
UserName and Password (this only needs to be done once). You will
then need to write a few lines of code for your application. The
code is the same as if you wanted to send email using the SMTP
protocol. Enter the following information in your SMTP account
on your server:
| SMTP server name | ipipi.com |
| User Name | Your ipipi.com user name (the same account you use to login to www.ipipi.com – for example jsmith) |
| Password | Your ipipi.com password (for the account you use to login to www.ipipi.com) |
| “Sent From” email addresses | Your account name + @ipipi.com (for example jsmith@ipipi.com) It is very important to set this field. Ipipi.com is set up NOT to receive relaying and should this value be incorrect the following error message will be generated: “503 Incorrect Authentication for Specified Email Address” |
Part 2 - Generating SMS
from Your Application
Every time you want to send SMS you need to create email message
with the following parameters:
| Email field | Description |
| “To” | SMS_number_in_international_format@sms.ipipi.com |
| “cc” | Leave empty |
| “bcc” | Leave empty |
| “Subject” | Leave empty or use one or all of the compression options described below. The following are examples of valid entries in the subject line:

| “Message” | Write the text of your SMS message. Please note that there is a maximum number of characters that you can write (about 150) . |
When the message is created, send it using the SMTP account as explained above. The message will come to the ipipi.com server, which will try to authenticate your account. If all goes according to plan, a credit will be deducted from your account, your message will be converted into an SMS and then sent to the desired destination - ANYWHERE on the Planet.
Please note that you can send ONE message per request. For example, if you need to send 3 messages, you need to send three email requests.
