Directing Email to the Channel
When the SMS channel is configured as per SMS Channel Configuration purposes of discussion, let us assume that the host name sms.siroe.com is a host name associated with the channel. In that case, email is directed to the channel with an address of the form:
local-part@sms.siroe.com
in which local-part is either the SMS destination address (for example, a wireless phone number, pager ID, etc.) or an attribute-value pair list in the format:
/attribute1=value1/attribute2=value2/.../@sms.siroe.com
The recognized attribute names and their usages are given in Table D–1. These attributes allow for per-recipient control over some channel options.
