Hi,
I set up the option email to sms. I manage to send an sms through this option. My question now is if it is possible to change the sender?
As done through htpp for example.

Thank in advance

Hi Constantinos,

It is not possible to set the SMS sender address in the SMTP content.

However, it is possible to associate different SMS sender addresses with different SMTP sender addresses, so that the SMS sender is chosen based upon who is sending the e-mail message.

If you are using "SMTP AUTH" to submit messages, then the "Forced Sender Address" associated with the "SMS Users" account is used.

If you are using the "Authorised E-Mail to SMS/MMS Senders" list, then when defining e-mail addresses that are allowed to send SMS or MMS messages in the "Authorised E-Mail to SMS/MMS Senders" list, it is possible to follow an e-mail address in the list with a phone number to be used as the sender address for any messages submitted by this sender (example: *@nowsms.com,+447777777777 means that any addresses submitted by a nowsms.com e-mail address will be sent out with an SMS sender address of +447777777777).

Hi Des,
This was helpful and worked, I use the "Authorised E-Mail to SMS/MMS Senders" and is working. But in the body of the message the sender email address is shown is it possible not to be shown?

Hi Constantinos,

Yes, there is a template that can be used to define the resulting SMS text.

You can edit MMSC.INI, and under the [MMSC] header, add EMailSMSTextOnly=Yes to tell NowSMS to only use the text of the e-mail in the SMS (ignore the from and subject).

Or, there is a template setting to allow some changes to the standard SMS to e-mail format (From /Subject /Message Text) used by NowSMS. To change the SMS to e-mail format, edit MMSC.INI, and add an SMSEMailTemplate= setting to define a template for the SMS to e-mail format. The following replacement variables are supported in the template: @@FromAddress@@ (e-mail address of sender), @@FromName@@ (full name of sender), @@Subject@@ (subject of message), @@Text@@ (text of message). The default template is SMSEMailTemplate=@@FromAddress@@ /@@Subject@@ /@@Text@@

Hi Des,
The first option is enough for me for the time being.
If in the future I have any more specific requests I'll have this in mind.
Thank you very much for your help.
