Gammu SMS Daemon is a program that periodically scans GSM modem for received messages, stores them in defined storage and also sends messages enqueued in this storage. It is perfect tool for managing big amounts of received or sent messages and automatically process them.
You can currently store received messages in files or in various databases. MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported natively and wide range of others (including SQLite) through libdbi (libdbi backend is currently not available in Windows builds).
The package includes also tool gammu-smsd-inject which will help
you creating long text messages and gammu-smsd-monitor which
allows you to monitor current status of SMS Daemon or phone.
For managing messages in the database, you can use Kalkun frontend, which provides web interface to messages and phonebook. It currently works only with MySQL database. Check screenshots to see how it looks like.
Gammu 1.31.0 has been just released. Christmas release folding up all fixes from past few months. There are too many changes to highlight some, but everybody should upgrade.

Gammu 1.30.92 has been just released. This is hopefully last testing version before 1.31, which I would like to release around Christmas. There are some big rewrites though, which hopefully won't break anything.
