Does a hardcoded email to that address receive the text?

If your question is- if I have sent an email to this number ....yes. I have tested it prior and it works.

I have received all of my attempts over night. I don’t know what caused it to act this way, but it worked. If anyone knows what could have caused the delayed response ...I like to hear about it.

Thank you Reeza.

Email relays often have safeguards against abuse as a spam transport. It might be that the SAS server was not yet whitelisted, and has been in the meantime.

Where is the delay happening? Is it with the initial email or is it with the relayed SMS?

I would run further tests to confirm if you consistently get time delays or if they are one-offs.

It was the initial email that delayed for 24 hrs. It's working now. Thank you
