Email account I have used for 12+ to send weather alerts email to SMS (Vtext) is now failing with a specific failure return email.  I can use other emails accounts and they come through just fine.

Partial error:

For further clarity there are 2 VZW numbers that receive the alerts and 1 ATT Wireless.  Both VZW fail but ATT number is always successful.

Have no clue whats goin on with Verizon, but it is annoying. Hetting the same result using Verizon, AT&T fine. Everything was fine a week ago. Texting from email is essential.

We have Gmail rules set up to auto forward specific emails to [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service] which usually forwards the email as a text message (SMS) to my phone. My phone then alerts me that I have a text message and I know to check my email. Over the last week or two we've seen delays (today has been especially bad --- 1 or 2 hours of delay) and we continue to periodically receive the following failure message (Xs represent the digits of my phone number):   

Delivery incomplete

There was a temporary problem delivering your message to [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service]. Gmail will retry for 46 more hours. You'll be notified if the delivery fails permanently.

I'm also having trouble sending email to my Verizon phone: [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service], though I'm getting a different error. The emails are sent from my Gmail address to my Vtext address. Here's an example of the error that Gmail kicks back to me:

Delivery incomplete
There was a temporary problem delivering your message to [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service]. Gmail will retry for 46 more hours. You'll be notified if the delivery fails permanently.

The response from the remote server was:
421 4.1.0 <[email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service]> server temporarily unavailable AUP#MXRT

This has been happening for a week or two now. Some messages are getting through while others are not. Something is wrong with the server that handles vtext.com email messages.

The error message above was received at 5:32pm US central time today, while the original email was sent from my Gmail address to my vtext address yesterday at 3:58pm US central time. So, the error is still happening more than 24 hours after the original email was sent.

I'm here experiencing a similar issue. I receive text alerts from a 9-1-1 center but they're getting 550 - Requested action not taken: no such user here in their outlook email server for different vtext users. No issues with sprintpcs, firstnet, att, uscc, or tmomail. Sometimes the messages come through and sometimes they don't. I can't find a rhyme or reason to it. The issue started on Monday the 22nd but has become more pronounced the last couple of days.
