There isn't a simple built-in facility that can accomplish this, but I can give you a trick that we have used in the past. In the SMSC list, for the SMSC(s) that is routing outbound messages, uncheck "Support any outbound message traffic", and add prefixes to the preferred connection list for only for the destinations that you want to send messages (e.g., +44*, 07*, etc.). So that messages sent to other destinations do not fill up in the queue, define another SMSC entry which is not a real SMSC entry. It will be used to "throw away" the messages that are sent to any destination other than the prefixes that you defined for the real SMSC. For this "bogus" SMSC, add a new SMSC of the HTTP type. For host name, specify any web server. Under "Server Type", scroll to any entry and then back to "Now SMS". Leave "Support any outbound message traffic" checked. When NowSMS has a message to send to a local recipient (matches the preferred SMSC connection prefixes defined for the GSM modem), it will go out the GSM modem. When NowSMS has a message for any other destination, it will generate an HTTP request to the specified web server ... and since the web server will not understand the URL parameters, essentially the message is discarded. -bn | |||
