Database Mail email to pager

  • We are in the process of testing our first upgrade to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000.

    One functionality that we require to work on the upgraded 2005 sql server is the ability to send emails and alerts to pagers. When we try doing that the email gets through to the pager but the text is unreadable.

    The same email will get through and will be legible to another email address. The same email send from SQL2000 to the same pager will also arrive in the proper format.

    Is there a configuration setting that needs to be changed on the Database Mail side?

    Thank you for any advice.

  • Does anyone have this functionality working properly on their sql 2005 box? We are trying to send emails from Database Mail to alphanumeric pagers provided by Rogers Communications.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

     

  • I can send mail using database mail perfectly well but always have to specify an "email address" in the recepient. In the past the alphanumeric pagers I have work with *have* and email representing the account.

  • the email address we are using for the pager is: 10digitpagernumber@paging.rogers.com . For example 4162282457@paging.rogers.com . the email does get through to the pager but arrives in a mangled up format that cannot be read...

  • That is a "provider" issue. You need to contact them!
