hi -
even when a phone's UAProf says it supports video/3gpp, i see a message in the log from an inbound SMTP saying "ParseAttachmentsFromInboundMessage: Skipping video.3gp, content type video/3gpp". these work terminal to terminal using tmobile (so, someone else's MMSC) so is there a setting to let these pass on through?

You're seeing this message when you send from SMTP (e-mail) to MMS, right?

The e-mail to MMS gateway filters attachments based upon the content types listed in the MMSCTYPE.INI (so that you don't accidentally end up with a lot of junk going out through the gateway trying to get through to phones).

In the MMSCTYPE.INI that we've edited in preparation for the next release, we added the following statements related to video/3gpp:

Under the [MMS Content Types] header:

video/3gpp=.mp4

And under the [Extensions] header:

.mp4=video/3gpp
.3gp=video/3gpp


(We use the "Extensions" section to try to remap content types based on file extension, as many e-mail clients will not always put the correct MIME type.)

If you're talking about a phone-to-phone sending issue, then we did see an issue where early versions of the Nokia 3650 UAProf file did not list "video/3gpp" as a supported MMS content type. The server caches UAProf files, and we had to clear the cache to get the updated UAProf file to be downloaded (this shouldn't normally happen, but the 3650 was, and probably is, still a pre-release phone). In the UAProf subdirectory, you'll find cached UAProf files. Delete the corresponding entry from UAProf.INI, as well as the local copy of the UAProf file that is referenced.
