Not receiving messages sent to myPhoneNumber@vtext.com

I am tyring to use the SMS gateway (@vtext.com) to receive alerts from my banks/credit cards as SMS messages instead of as email.  This has worked well in the past but their is one specific message that isn't coming through.  I have verified with the sender through their email server logs that the message was accepted by Verizon for delivery yet it does not get to my phone.

Although the message is simple text I have also repeated the steps using the MMS gateway (@vzxwpix.com if I remember correctly) with the same result.

Is there a content filter in place that might be stopping the message from getting through thinking it is spam?  If so wouldn't it be better netiquette to tell the sender rather than telling them it's accepted for delivery?

I can't control the wording or format of the message - any other ideas of things I could do to get these message through?
