Message syntax

The following message syntax applies to light weight polling (default), UDP gateways, and SYNC gateways:

message = [subject]content

Messages sent using the SMTP gateway have one of the following syntax structures:

```
message = sender[subject]content
```
```
message = sender(subject)content
```
```
message = sender{subject}content
```
```
message = sender<subject>content
```
```
message = sender'subject'content
```
```
message = sender"subject"content
```

The proper message syntax and sender email address syntax are dependent on your wireless carrier. To determine the message syntax, run the MobiLink Listener with message logging enabled, and with the verbosity level set to 2 using the dblsn -m and -v options. The message log contains the proper syntax when you initially run the MobiLink Listener.

When using a device tracking gateway, the message syntax depends on the subordinate gateway used to send the message. If you are using an SMTP subordinate gateway, the syntax is dependent on your public wireless carrier.
