I have since found an incredibly cheap, reliable, and easy to use alternative for use by my home security system. When it detected an intrusion it would send an email to <myphone#>@tmomail.net. I now use the pushover app ($5 lifetime license, over ¾ million users). I now send email to <myphones_pushoverid>@pomail.net, which results in a notification (not SMS) to my phone. It sends both text and images.This thread shows how it can be done. They show a complex, full-featured way, but the simple method above works just fine.
Use the $5 app, pushover, to send notifications to your phone. Search ipcamtalk.com for instructions on how to use it.
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.
This article explains what is happening, and even says “The e-mail to text gateway is a legacy system that may eventually be decommissioned in the future.” It also says “There are a range of independent reputable companies offering messaging services on the sanctioned path that may suit your needs. We recommend you reach out to Kaleyra, Infobip, Sinch, Vibes Media, Twilio, or Cisco directly.” 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.

This article explains what is happening (in my case my home security intrusion alerts are never delivered), and even says “The e-mail to text gateway is a legacy system that may eventually be decommissioned in the future.”It also says “There are a range of independent reputable companies offering messaging services on the sanctioned path that may suit your needs.

The vast majority of messages, are a miss. As of yesterday (14 September 2023), such messages were not being delivered to the phones (multiple) and the senders (not specifically via Gmail) are not receiving a bounce/reject message, so it appears the messages are winding up in a black hole somewhere. @HeavenM I understand spam filters are necessary, but when legitimate messages aren’t getting through, this is a problem. This is beyond ridiculous now. Not being able to get a message through can be extremely frustrating. The spam filters should not be blocking everything. Are you sending these messages from your personal email address or from an automated email service? Does the email that you are sending from include words like admin, info, alert, test, contactus, or sales? (This is not a complete list of words in the email address that are filtered but gives you an idea.) The tmomail.net message route is not designed for ANY business messages, so if you are send

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’s SMTP configuration is belowThis 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 be the 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.
