[email protected] - how to find domain name
Exactly. You cannot simply send a SMS as an e-mail. The mail (SMTP) server needs to have a plug-in of sorts that enables it to forward a specially formatted e-mail it receives as an SMS.
More then a decade ago, some cellular providers provided such mail servers - allowing you to specify the cellular number as either the recipient address or as the e-mail subject, with the body containing the actual SMS message.
Due to this feature being abused and the cost of SMS transport being unrecoverable, this (as a public feature) has long since been discontinued by most, if not all, cellular network providers.
So no, there is no magic domain(s) you can use to (spam) mobile numbers with SMS.
If you want a SMS solution, you need to talk to a cellular provider about the products they have for 3rd party SMS integration.
Alternatively, you need to use a dedicated cellphone, hooked up via USB/Bluetooth to a server, and use that as your SMS transport mechanism.
