NowSMS Team,

We are running some tests with your product and we need a way to be able to configure a different port other than port 25 for the OUTBOUND connection not for the inbound. The MMSC page has a port option for the MMSC but that appears to only be for the port that it is listening on, not for the outbound traffic.

In the VASP tab where we have the MMS connection for outbound configured we have the IP address for the partner there and we tried added a colon with the port specified but your system appears to ignore that and always use port 25 for the assumed outbound port.

The issue with port 25 is due to email spam issues that port is just not used much and is blocked a lot because of these issues.

Please let us know how we can specify a special port for this.

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi Fabio,

The "MMSC Routing" definition controls the outbound MM4 connection settings.

In the "Server Address" field of the "MMC Routing" entry, use the syntax:

host.name:port

or

ip.address:port

Thanks Des,

That does work for messages that originate on our system, but we are having a problem with some automatically generated messages. The partner does not receive MM4_forward.RES and they are duplicating messages?

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi Fabio,

In the "MMSC VASP" definition, set the "MM4 Ack Route" to point to the outbound "MMSC Routing" definition. This links the inbound MM4 account with the outbound MM4 account.

This document may be of some additional help with MM4 configuration: http://www.nowsms.com/mmsc-mm4-interconnection-basics
