I'm thinking that the first entry is being matched and then no further 
matches are made. Try reversing the lines like:

machine1.com  machine2.com;;*;;*;*;9999999999@txt.bellmobility.ca
machine1.com  machine2.com;;*;;*;*;myname@mycompany.com


You may find that the first address gets the message and the second does 
not in which case then

machine1.com  machine2.com;;*;;*;*;9999999999@txt.bellmobility.ca,myname@mycompany.com


may be what you need to have in the configuration. I know that the 
numeric email addresses work as I use my Bell phone to receive alerts.
