We've wasted time playing with a wrapper for the mail command that would strip out the "\r" in the alerts but this has, so far, proven fruitless. Messages sent via the Sprint SMS gateway go through just fine. Wondering if anybody else has seen this issue, or has any idea what the best way to handle it might be?
I warn you this (probably) isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I've stopped using the SMS email gateways due to reliability issues and when things are really going bad -- rate limiting. Instead I've moved to sending my notifications through Pushover.net which sends (fast!!) push notifications to phones.
You can send messages two ways: their email gateway, or write a notification script that uses their REST api. It's very simple. I wrote this in a few minutes and haven't looked back.
I will be evaluating this alongside the other fix in this thread.
Glauber presented a simple solution that solves our immediate problem. Otherwise, we've had no issue with SMS messages for years. (Verizon) I'm testing both solutions.
Thanks!
