As a separate test, when I send a standard email from Outlook to [email protected], I get the text.

Looks like EF is not sending emails to vtext.com... or vtext.com is actively blocking as spam.
I didn't even know that you could have alerts going to multiple addresses or that EF could send SMS alerts!!

The way I achieved this is by having a rule in my GMail which forwards the EF emails to another email account (not GMail - my ISP gives me an email address). Then I have a rule in the other account that forwards the alerts to my vtext address. The reason I'm using a non-GMail address is because I found it didn't work directly from GMail, at least with Verizon.
