Hi,

Is it possible to send a message by manually creating the file in the Q folder ?

This is still about the issue I posted on the MMS group by mistake, regarding the limit I'm getting sending a message using HTTP Post, when it contains more than 630 numbers.

What happens is that everything goes well the text message is read, and sent to the first 630 numbers, but the 631 gets cut and only the first character is sent, and that is it, it does not send any more.

I'm sending using the format Phone=xxx,xxx,xxx.

I managed to get around this issue, by dynamicly creating a Distribution List, and then sending an HTTP Post with the list name.

Now another idea I had was what if I create the .req files directly on the Q folder, this way if allowed by the program I can even have my own reference number for each number. Making the management of the messages and delivery receipts in an external application.

Thank You

Nuno,

Yes. We do not document the format, but it is a fairly obvious format ... and there is no problem generating these files programatically. They will be recognised automatically.
