I'm hooked up to an SMSC via SMPP connection and I need to forward it's incoming messages to my users who are hooked up to my SMPP server. Whenever a new message is received from the SMSC, the message is sent to SMS-IN instead of routing it on. What am I doing wrong.

Nicholas,

I know we've already dealt with this via e-mail.

The primary thing here is that when you define the SMPP client account in the "SMS Users" dialog, you need to tell NowSMS that it should route messages back to that account, and you need to specify address mask(s) for which recipient addresses should be routed back to that account (e.g., +4485858585,+44*).

Otherwise, NowSMS routes messages received from an SMSC connection into the 2-way SMS facility. If there is no matching command defined in the command table, then the message is unceremoniously dumped into the SMS-IN directory (which you might have an external program process).
