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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ``From broadband to print, wireless to cable, we now have a myriad of forums in which to be left speechless.'' -- James Poniewozik Salon Media To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
