Be careful with this there is a company (J2 iirc) that owns a patent on
doing this, and they have charged people patent usage fees if they
resell this service.  Yeah its a bogus patent (prior art at the very
least), but no one wants to pay the $2M in lawyer fees to fight it, its
cheaper to pay the $1/customer or whatever their license fee is.
