Basic MMS information is available at:

http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm

For more complete specifications, refer to the Open Mobile Alliance (http://www.openmobilealliance.org), which documents the over the air protocol used by mobile phones. (Also the 3GPP has MMS specifications, TS 23.140, which are more authoritative on external interfaces.)

Lawful interception (government requirements) would occur either through a proxy intercepting traffic to/from the MMSC, or with a hook in the MMSC to specifically facilitate lawful interception.
