Hi, I have 2 questions to ask.. 1) The "MMSCDATA" directory shows no contents when MMS subscriber emails to any interent recipient. Where i can found that mail data? 2) Also whats the porpose "MMSCIN/DECODE" Directory? | |||
| Bryce Norwood - NowSMS Support |
1.) If the only recipient is an e-mail recipient, a copy of the message is not saved (only a record of it in the log files). 2.) The MMSCIN directory receives e-mail messages from SMTP. This is a holding queue for these messages before they are routed to the eventual MMS recipient. The "DECODE" directory contains temporary files as the SMTP message is decoded, and attachments extracted from the SMTP message. -bn | |||

i notice not always the "DECODE" directory contains or hold the user data. Is it normal? | |||
| Bryce Norwood - NowSMS Support |
No, that is not normal. It sounds like maybe some temporary files are not being automatically deleted. What type of user data do you see? Are there a lot of files? If you delete the files, do more appear at a later time? As I mention, this directory is only used when decoding received SMTP e-mail. (Although, I think there are some functions, like delivery notifications that also use the MMSCIN queue.) | |||

No file and directory has been created in this Directory from last one day. Although i sent 2 test mails but recieved only one MMS that contain GIF and text file. The other that have not been recieved contains zip and gif file. | |||

Check the MMSC-yyyymmdd.LOG to see if the message was actually received and forwarded to MMS. | |||

Sorry for dealy response. The MMSCLog and "MMSCDATA" directory both shows the proper delivery of messages from internet email sender but "MMSC/DECODE" directory shows no activity. I have tried to send a picture with text and recived successfully | |||

UPDATE.. A Typo error in my last post. Its "MMSCIN/DECODE" directory not "MMSC/DECODE". Thankx Also I have found just for second or two the a file in n format( The contents are below) and than file vanished in "MMSCIN" directory. Could you please clearify me about this file? "X-MMSC-RCPT-TO: 88771234567 X-MMSC-Received-From: 207.68.174.74 Received: from mail pickup service by mail-22.mobile.msn.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 30 Jul 2003 06:30:55 -0700 From: MSN <alert@mobile.msn.com> To: brown@mms.com Message-ID: <tk2mobsmtpc025sck8t002636ea@mail-22.mobile.msn.com> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 30 Jul 2003 13:30:55.0364 (UTC) FILETIME=[CDC61C40:01C3569E] Date: 30 Jul 2003 06:30:55 -0700 Michel: hi " Thanks Again | |||

When a message is received via SMTP (and it is determined that it is valid to accept the message), then it is written to the MMSCIN directory temporarily. Another process within the Now MMSC scans the MMSCIN directory and parses the MIME format messages in that directory. MIME attachments are temporarily extracted to the MMSCIN\DECODE subdirectory. The message is repackaged into binary MMS format, stored under the MMSCDATA subdirectory, and an MMS notification is generated to the message recipient. The MMSCIN and MMSCIN\DECODE directories are strictly directories for holding temporary files that are being processed by the system for SMTP to MMS delivery. -bn | |||

I am clear now, but why a huge list of directories and header files are listed in DECODE directory. Is that mean that MMSC is unable to process the received SMTP Emails properly and route to destined MMS subscriber? For example a 31st July header file contains " X-MMS-Message-Type: m-retrieve-conf X-MMS-Transaction-ID: F17FE2F7 X-MMS-MMS-Version: 1.0 X-MMS-Message-ID: 20030731/06/F17FE2F7 To: 88775566559/TYPE=PLMN X-MMSC-Received-From: 64.214.130.70 Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Wed Jul 30 20:09:11 2003 From: "Asb M." <asby54m@stiffyproductions.net> Subject: fw: man sent me this " Although the MMS Subscriber is valid and i have also confirmed that no data file created with "F17FE2F7" name in "MMSCDATA/20030731/06/F17FE2F7" direcotry. Again Thanks for good support. | |||

Yes, this would suggest the messages are not being routed properly. And I believe I see what is going on. The SMTP to MMS conversion will not work properly if a message includes no text, and only includes attachments that are not included in the MMSCTYPE.INI file (among other purposes, the MMSCTYPE.INI file lists attachment types that are allowed to pass through the SMTP to MMS conversion). When this happens, a ".hdr" file is left behind in the MMSCIN\DECODE directory, and a subdirectory is created with the same name minus the ".hdr" extension. I reviewed the situation with engineering this morning, and they've produced a fix in a build of the v5.0 beta that corrects this problem. We'll apply this fix to all future releases. However, I wouldn't recommend installing the v5.0 beta on a product system yet, so it may be a while longer before this fix hits production. Hopefully based on the explanation above, this is a bug that you can work with a little longer. -bn | |||
