sending text to my cell phone using @tmomail.net no longer working?
it no longer works, please assist
Looking at this more it would seem T-Mobiles email to sms server(s) have no IP information associated with the DNS record, so no way for mail servers to send to them. If it was working from some email clients that's because the DNS info probably hasn't yet aged out of their cache, but those clients will eventually stop working as well.
This is why some clients are still working while others are not. This is basic Internet 101, it's a bit shocking no one at T-Mobile is aware of this issue!
