Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ushahidi/SMSSync/issues/80

I would like messages sent by SMSSync to be able to go to email addresses as well as phone numbers when the phone has an existing email gateway. For example, I would like to be able to send the following to SMSSync and receive and receive an email:

{
    "payload": {
        "task": "send",
        "secret": "secret",
        "messages": [
            {
                "to": "me@mydomain.com",
                "message": "Hello, World!" 
            }
        ]
    }
}

Why would you want to send the email from the mobile phone instead of the sync server?

We're interested in using SMSSync for (among other things) automated testing. Some users will be interacting with our system using their carrier's email gateway, and we would like an automated solution for replicating that use case.

@eyedol I think it's better to keep SMSSync sending SMSs :)
