Receiving digital input/SMS or email output

Using Arduino Project Guidance
#1

I stumbled upon the arduino platform and was wondering if it would work in my situation. I am trying to receive a digital output from another micro controller. The controller outputs an +8VDC pulsed signal when an alarm condition (i.e. hi/lo temp) is received. Could the arduino receive the digital output and then send either a text message or email notification? This is the beginning stages of the project, and I'm just trying to get an idea if the hardware available will support this.

Thank you,

Certainly. I prefer Wifly and Mifi (if needed), instead of a GSM shield. This makes it easier and it's free: http://www.smtp2go.com

I’ve been trying to use smpt2go …
I’ve searching this forum and also with google…
but have got just this error:

My code is

if (client.connect(server_email,2525)) {
Serial.println(“connected to email server”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“EHLO myusername 1.2.3.4);
client.println(“AUTH LOGIN”);
// used this to base64:“http://base64-encoder-online.waraxe.us/”
delay(1000);
client.println(“base64codedusername”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“base64codedpwd”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“MAIL FROM:myaddress@gmail.com”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“RCPT TO:myaddress@gmail.com”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“from:myaddress@gmail.com”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“to:myaddress@gmail.com”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“SUBJECT: Testing subject to arduino ethernet shield”);
delay(1000);
client.println(“This is the line body.”);
delay(1000);
client.println(”.");
delay(1000);
client.println(".");
delay(1000);
client.println(“QUIT”);
delay(1000);
}
eRcv();
} else {
Serial.println(“connection failed to smtp2go”);

I have also tried to replace all delay(1000) with
for(int i=0; i<999; ++i){
if(client.read() > 0)
break;

What can be wrong?

What can be wrong?

if (client.connect(server_email,2525))

Maybe the port should be 25 instead of 2525.

if (client.connect(server_email, 25))

If you used smtp2go then you have to make account in smtp2go. after that you get username is your gmail or other email account and different password. used this password and username.
