Short question:
When an email is sent to my txt address at att the sender is listed as a number 1010100001. Can this changed? Is there a workaround to have a computer send me a text from a real address?
Long explanation:
I have a server monitoring system that sends me text message alerts when there is an issue. (I.E. A website is down, Drive space is low.. etc)
I get a LOT of these.
I Just switched From Verizon to ATT.
On Verizon the Email was sent to [email protected] and it said it was from the email address of my monitoring server. On ATT any email sent to my text address ([email protected]) comes in from 1010100001 and this number seems to increment for each email I get to my text address.
I know it's not my Tilt2, because my wife’s Iphone does the same thing.
Is there any workaround?
Is anyone aware of another way to send these alerts rather than a straight email to my text address?
It's very hard to glance at my messages now and see if there is an issue I should deal with without opening each message.
On VZW, I could scroll my inbox and see the FROM and SUBJECT without opening them like: [email protected] - Error C drive low on Servername. then the body had the details.
On ATT is says 1010100002 - FRM:[email protected]
I have to open the message to see if it is an error or a good.
Many pages are temporary errors, I may get 3 errors then a good while a job runs.. If it doesn’t report good in a few mins, I need to look at it.

Hello - I'm trying to solve a unique problem and am hoping someone here can lead me in the right direction. I'm using a Cingular 8125 with one of the custom rom's from here. I also have a Cingular text pager for work. I am forwarding all of my work pages to my cell phone. Here's the issue: when I respond to those pages, I'd like it to appear to the recipient as if it came from my pager and not my cell phone. The reason is that when I reply to a work page from my cell phone, the recipient sees my address as my cell phone number instead of pager address and they don't know who I am. I think it's as simple as being able to define a return address for SMS text messages.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You can't do it.
Darn. Not even with a third-party SMS app?
Hi all,
I have a major problem with sending emails on my TP.
Let me start with saying: proxy is deactivated and I coudn't find anything about this subject in this forum.
When I delete all my accounts and setup a new one and try to send the first email, everthing works the way it is supposed to and it will be doing so for the rest of the day (ok, I didn't check that by sending emails every hour)
After a day or so (don't know exactely when this change happend) I can not send emails anymore. I'm 200% sure that I have not changed any settings so that can't be the problem.
The error message I receive when trying to send emails is:
"Can not send message, check network coverage and account details"
Does any of you know what causes this problem and how I can solve this?
Thank you very much in advance!
**edit** Okay, I tested the abillity to send emails every hour today (nothing better to do )
I created the account this morning and got the first send error around 6 hours later.
Same location and same reception (2-3 bars on 3G).
Strange, very strange
Does your ISP support IMAP and POP accounts. I use Yahoo, and i occationally get the same message, the only reason it could be is network coverage. If you are roaming, the speed may not be high enough for your service.
Also check the size of e-mail download, set it to 20kb and test it for a few days.
Hope this helps

ISP supports POP as well as IMAP.
Since receiving is not a problem at all, I also tried different smtp servers for sending email. But as soon as I get the first error message, I can not send emails from whatever server I'm using.
I'm also not roaming and have excellent speeds all the time.
Just curious: how does the download limit of 20kb affects the abillity to send emails?
I've set mine to download everything (whole message)
I had this problem and it ends upi a coverage problem, I get this error with 1 bar. and it wont send.
Also if you swap between wifi and 3G make sure you you SMPT is on your email provider and you tick the send secure mode. I =got caught on this using diffrent WIfi hot spots.
Hey,
I'm with Tesco.net for my broadband at home and want to get my personal emails on my TP.
I can do that fine, either setting up POP3 on my TP or using Emoze for push email (which I'm using and love)
For some reason I can't send any. I know there's an update to fix this, but it doesn't work. I don't even get an error - the emails just sit in my outbox.
I can send emails from other accounts (Yahoo for example) but not this one. I've looked on the Tesco website and Googled why this isn't working, but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

check your outgoing mail settings on the phone with what they should be. it's possible that some type of mismatch (maybe port or security or pw error) is keeping your phone from connecting to the outgoing server.
also are you sure they're not sending? every now and then i send emails and tehy sit in my outbox and keep sending until i get a pissed off phone call from someone about repeatedly emailing them...
Hi. I'm using with my N5 with t-mo in the US. I have a rule in Outlook (on my PC) that sends an SMS to my phone in the event that I get an email from a specific individual. So, the message is sent to [email protected]. This message arrives to my phone as an SMS.
With my prior phone (which was using a CM-based 4.2.2 ROM) this message would appear in my SMS client (Slide Messaging Pro; but prior to that was Handcent) identified by the email address, which would then map correctly into Contacts and bring up the correct contact picture (me).
With my N5 running KitKat, the message shows up as from a four digit code ( e.g., 3823, which varies from message to message), and the SMS client can't map it into Contacts to get the picture. Instead, the first part of the message is my email address.
This is hardly mission-critical, but I am wondering if there is some way to strip out the 4 digit code so that the SMS maps to Contacts correctly? I'm currently rooted but using stock recovery, if that matters.
Good afternoon everyone,
This is probably going to be a dumb question but here goes.
I am always sending text messages to my personal email address from my phone as either an SMS or sometimes as an MMS message as reminders for all sorts of things.
For instance, If I find an article of any kind that I want to read later I will copy the web address and send a text to my email address from the "Messages app" on my phone.
I have been doing this for years and have never ever had any issues up until about two weeks ago. Now sporadically and even sometimes all the time I will send a text to my email and immediately I get a separate text back saying the following
"(Undelivered Mail Returned To Sender) This is the mail system at host bbtpnj33wzwvetm-c-nk-x-00-vmg-00.localdomain.
I"
I can not for the life of me figure out what I keep getting these types of responses.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this and/or have any clue what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Currently, I am having this issue using my Note20 Ultra if that means anything.
Thank you so much in advance for any help!
