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
