Verify with your cell phone provider what is the @domain to send
emails to your cell.

It should be something like phone_number@sms.provider.com

First, make sure that the email services work from the RS/6000 to any
standard email address. A good test is to send one email to your
internal email address, and one to an internet email address.

For example, if my company was called "nospam.com" and my email was
steven@nospam.com, I would try sending from my AIX server
(root@serverA.nospam.com) as follows:

mail -v steven@nospam.com
Subject: test mail
This is a test message
..
Cc:

The mail delivery messages should then appear and show me if the mail
is being routed out from the RS/6000 okay. If it works there, the next
test would be to send to an email address such as
"steve7235@gmail.com" and see if the mail gets out there.

Once I know that part is working, then I should be able to reach
someone's mobile phone for text messaging. If I do not get out, then
my RS/6000 may be missing some setup (like the DNS entries), or my
firewall may be blocking SMTP traffic on port 25.

Be careful if you do set up a route through your firewall for SMTP
traffic. IBM by default give you a completely wide open setting for
your sendmail services (/etc/sendmail.cf) and we have had cases on
some of our customer sites where spammers from Hong Kong and Taiwan
were using our customer's servers as relays for their emails, until we
alerted them and the ports were closed or the sendmail settings
changed.
