transport

This is used to nominate the transport mechanism you will use to send the SMS details to the SMS gateway service provider.

There are two options:

A value of *SMTP indicates that the SMS details is to be sent by email to the SMS gateway service provider.

A value of *HTTP indicates that the SMS details are to be sent using HTTP.

The transport you select will most likely be based on the service you subscribe to with the SMS gateway service provider.

This value can be overridden in the application using the TRANSPORT keyword on the SET command.

This value can be overridden in the application using the PROVIDER keyword on the SET command.

subject

This keyword is only used with the *SMTP transport.

It will contain the subject of the email.

Typically this would contain your user account and account password (in the format 'user+password') for the SMS gateway that you are using. Confirm the format with your provider as it may have its own format.

This value can be overridden in the application using the SUBJECT keyword on the SET command.

from.address

This keyword is only used with the *SMTP transport.

This is the address to which you want email responses from the SMS gateway service provider routed back to. Such responses might include SMS status information (such as a failed SMS).

This would normally be one of your company email addresses - perhaps one that is dedicated to receiving such responses. It should be a valid email address. Many providers will only accept addresses that are already registered with them.

mobile.domain
