T-Mobile SMS/MMS Spam Filter
Let me start off by introducing myself. I’m a govt worker who has to forward monitoring system events from his email to phone SMS/MMS for easily heard and read notifications. I’ve been on ATT for the past 13 years where this has worked fine, but just changed to T-Mobile this past week where now I am receiving mostly undeliverable kickbacks to my mailbox, where it works sometimes but more than often not.
I called T-Mobile and they stated that they are decommissioning the @tmomail.net gateway, but has not introduced a new feature to allow mail to SMS to bypass or take the place of the original technology. I googled and found T Mobile has been saying this to customers since 2022, but yet the feature still exists. It almost seems like a go-to response on their script when they can’t find an answer or fix for the person’s complaint.
While on the phone with T-Mobile, the agent informed me they were not seeing drops on the spam filter and this is likely not spam related. However, after digging through the fine font from Microsoft Office365, it does indeed look spam filter related. The email is reaching their TMO server and then being rejected by Cloudfilter.
Any suggestions for how I can request for this to be addressed? Sometimes I might need to receive just one notification and other times I might have a dozen all come in at the same time. All from Office365 (Microsoft) domain.

There is someone you can contact in your IT department that deals with this that can reach out to T-Mobile to have things taken care of. I brought this up to the girlfriend ages ago and it literally took the person that handles this at NASA less than a day to actually get done what needed to be done.

I am having the same exact issue at my company. This is the first ive seen/heard though of them decomming the system. (really hope they dont). We use it for the same reason, we have UPS units that we receive power loss alerts from and the managers get texts via email once the email alert comes in.
Last time i called T-Mo support on this, they just kept me within tier 1 and gave me the runaround as usual. Definitely a scripted response. I gave up and switched off the alerts for now as i was getting repetitive bouncebacks. Hope they get on top of this or at least inform us of whats going on.
