I warn you this (probably) isn't exactly what you're looking for, but
I've stopped using the SMS email gateways due to reliability issues and
when things are really going bad -- rate limiting. Instead I've moved to
sending my notifications through Pushover.net which sends (fast!!) push
notifications to phones.
You can send messages two ways: their email gateway, or write a
notification script that uses their REST api. It's very simple. I wrote
this in a few minutes and haven't looked back.
Hi Mark... Thanks for that recommendation re: pushover.net
I have suffered for _years_ with the AT&T (now Frontier) email-to-sms gateway.
Using the AT&T email gateway, Xymon notifications get mixed in with other txt
messages because each message sent via their gateway is
From: ${SomeEverIncreasingNumber}
So I can not set a filter on a phone number, or username and have a different
notification tone for Xymon messages.
Pushover currently has a limited number of notification tones, but that is OK
because I can have my xymon alert tell Pushover which to send so I can always
know if I got a txt or a Xymon alert now.
Still waiting on my first Xymon->Pushover alert, but this looks promising to
me and my sanity. lol
