I am trying to get an email from our mainframe to my pager via SMTP something like this:

TO=ME@MYPAGERCO.COM

The problem is that the firewall will not allow this thru so I am trying to relay it via our mail server like this:

TO=ME@MYPAGERCO.COM@MYCOMPANY.COM

I am getting a 501 Syntax error on the double @. Does anyone know how to do this? I am thinking that I can embed the first part in special characters but I can't find what those characters might be.

We must take care while implementing Ravi's solution. Till the time its your personal pager and will always be with you, all is fine. But in case its a companys pager and can rotate among employees, the solution would be valid only till the time Bithead serves this company. Smile

I am unable to forward from my email account as that feature is not available (or at least not enabled).

There is no problem with sending it to my pager as this is a blackberry and is addressed by my name rather than by pager id. Also, unfortunately, I don't get the opportunity to share my pager. I get it 24 x 7 x 365.

I was able to build an email agent that would forward the message. It is a little ugly but it works.
