Email to SMS Gateways and Spam
Recently I've discovered that if I attempt to forge the From: header in an email message that it ends up being considerably delayed when sent thru my providers Email to SMS Gateway. I strongly suspect they have in place measures to identify SPAM that will cause the message to receive a much lower priority. Unfortunately because it's a FIFO queue all messages sent thereafter to my device (be they from another device or whatever) are also delayed. Anybody seen this before? Right now I'm using a From: that is a legimate address and I'm sure is in many databases but before I was using a non existent user at my domain because I want to convey some context about the alert without using the body for the message. Thus allowing me to easily distinguish b/w different types of messages by looking at the sender of the message. This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

I've currently got a ticket open with Bell Mobility Data Support about text messages taking three days to arrive, if ever, except for the odd one sent from another Bell phone that arrives immediately. I wonder if I'm seeing that same thing. Daryl

I'm using Former ATT Wireless / Cingular Blue. email goes to @mmode.com gateway. I'm guessing but so far I'm seeing reliable messaging since I stopped forging From: Quoting Daryl C. W.
