Has any one setup a Alarm to send a text via a email address using @txt.att.net or @vtext.com? I have a test alarm setup along with a Alarm Notification Pipeline and a Text User Group. I can watch the Alarm Notification Pipeline become true in the gateway but I get a error message in the logs.

The error I get in the logs

```auto

It looks like your SMTP server doesn't want to send to those domains. If Ignition is connecting to the SMTP server without a username and password, I believe SMTP servers commonly will send only to the local domain.

I am working with IT to figure out a solution. Has anyone been able to make this work for them?

My IT blocks sending SMTP mail to anything outside the domain, but if they allow your traffic it should work like any other recipient email address.

For some reason the text message gets sent out twice when the alarm is only active once
