Note that by default, this looks to check your netrc credentials
to use this feature, create a .netrc file, so that only you can read and write it

    touch ~/.netrc
    chmod 600 ~/.netrc

and then add the information for the gmail smtp server, i.e.

    machine smtp.gmail.com
            login [email protected]
            password yourpassword

This way only you will have access to this file

For SMS support, use your service providers gateway. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways
