From this version it's possible to send Activation Messages or Installation Messages also via e-mail.

So far PrivateServer supports two kinds of SMTP configuration:

  1. generic unauthenticated SMTP
  2. GMail account's SMTP

In order to enable such feature in PrivateServer you need either to subscribe to GMail or get your SMTP credentials to be used as set up.

You can reach the SMTP Gateway configuration page by clicking on Message Gateway under the Provisioning menu.

HTTP/S URL: the web service URLEach SMS gateway has its own HTTP API, which are different and its way to authenticate the user. Typical settings are:

  • Credentials: username/password or secret key
  • Originator: depending on SMS gateway it could be a phone number or a text, shown as the SMS sender

Nexmo is our privileged provider for delivering Text messages in the United States. That's the reason why in its configuration form you can read a double entry on the "originator": 

  1. worldwide
  2. U.S.A only

As a matter of fact in order to deliver text messages to an US mobile number there are some pre-requisites to be match:

  • Originator has to be numeric only
  • Originator has to be a long US number (not a short one)
  • Originator has to be a 2-way number (meaning it can both send and receive text messages)

If some of the above pre-requisites is not observed, then the message could not be delivered. 

PrivateServer would automatically use the "U.S.A. only" originator number for any text to be delivered to mobile numbers using a "+1" prefix. Of course the "worldwide" originator would be used for any other text delivery.
