There's nothing out of the ordinary in what you're doing. From the sound of
it, you aren't actually running an Email->SMS gateway on your box.. presumably
your mobile carrier is doing that for you, and will be able to tell you what
the right email address is to get to your phone. All you need to do is send
your notification messages to the right email address.
I've done this for years myself, and it works great.
