Here is the web site for the SMTP mailer "Blat". "blatit" is actually the name of the cmd script I use, not the product itself. http://www.blat.net/

I'll take a look at that. Thanks for the suggestion.

For the second (that goes to my cell phone) I use the "Alerts - Other Mail" feature in Setup. I configure it to use a command line emailer (open source blatit) to modify the from address like this: blatit -to [email protected] -i %[email protected] Then in my alert entries I send Other mail with the message body: %p-%s So alerts show up as: Website-DOWN Website-RUNNING You could switch the order around to %s-%p if you like. Your entry pretty name must be set as one word for this to work. I never have to "read" the email on my phone since all the info I need is in the "from" address. You would have to use a properly authenticated smtp account and provide the remaining parameters for blatit to work. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barry George Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2010 12:00 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Formatting SMS messages Correct Dirk, which is why I thought there would be little I could do about it. Just checking. Ill contact my service provider but I am likely SOL.

And how did you configure the messagebody for that alert? My guess is that you're using an SMTP alert and that you're using a TO email address that is send to a pager. And that the forwarding service is putting that emailaddress infront of the actual message.
