Re: How to use @tmomail.net via gmail? I am not getting Email to SMS on my phone, even though SMS to Email works

What it doesn't say, is that as far as I can tell, each one of these services is accessed via a (programmatic) API or a web interface. There is not an email-to-text interface available. So, if your messages are generated by your home security, or other system, then the developers of those systems need to add capabilities to utilize the "paths" that T Mobile accepts. It will not be simple to switch. Actually, there is a simple solution. Use the $5 app, Pushover, to send notifications to your phone. Search ipcamtalk.com and you'll find detailed explanations of what to do.Re: How to use @tmomail.net via gmail? I am not getting Email to SMS on my phone, even though SMS to Email works

My home security system sends my T Mobile phone text messages, via its gmail account to <MyPhoneNbr>@tmomail.net,to warn of intrusions. The security system'sSMTP configuration is below This has failed since Sept 14, 2023 (error 550 5.1.1), around Oct 2nd the error changed to 452 4.1.0. I have logged into the "From email:" gmail account and manually sent a simple test message (Subject: "Test"; Body "Test", no attachments), to <MyPhoneNbr>@tmomail.net and its delivery failed as well. So SPAM does not appear to bethe issue. Another thread said that the tmomail.net system was archaic and to find another way to contact people. However, the only published way to send text messages is via tmomail.net. Hopefully someone from T Mobile will resolve this, as many health related services rely upon text messages to contact their clients.
