• SMTP port – Specify the SMTP port through which the
transmission will take place. By default this parameter is set to 25
(i.e., default SMTP port).

sent. Format this parameter as follows:
<name>@<mydomain.com>

Clickatell Email2SMS Service
Figure 4 - SMS alert flow via a Clickatell Email to SMS service
The Clickatell Email2SMS Service allows GFI Network Server Monitor
to relay SMS (text) alerts via Clickatell, a web-based SMS service
which sends SMS messages worldwide.
Whenever an event triggers an SMS alert, GFI Network Server
Monitor sends a “template” email (via SMTP) to Clickatell’s SMS
gateway. This template email contains all the required SMS alert
details including the SMS text message and the recipient’s number.
Clickatell then converts this email to SMS and sends it to the intended
recipient. For more information, visit
