hi,

i have a domain lets say mms4ever.com

i host that domain somewhere on the internet

now i have a own domain, mycompanyname.com, with mx record setup, but no active mailserver yet ( no pop, no smtp )

is it possible to setup nowsms up to
deliver multimedia messages as xxxxx@mms4ever.com

while messages sent to xxxxx@mycompanyname.com

are being processed by nowsms ??

this is because i will let forward *@mms4ever.com to *@mycompanyname.com

however, i don't want ppl to see the mycompanyname.com

Hi,

I'm not sure that I understand.

But if I understand correctly, you would probably need a mail server to forward from mms4ever.com to mycompany.com.

Or ... actually, as I do a little more research, I see that there is an undocumented setting in the Now SMS/MMS Gateway that allows alternate domain names to be defined for the MMS domain name.

If you edit MMSC.INI, under the [MMSC] section header, up to 10 alternate domain names can be defined like this:

[MMSC]
DomainNameAlias1=domaina.com
DomainNameAlias2=domainb.com
DomainNameAlias3=domainc.com
DomainNameAlias4=domaind.com
DomainNameAlias5=domaine.com
DomainNameAlias6=domainf.com
DomainNameAlias7=domaing.com
DomainNameAlias8=domainh.com
DomainNameAlias9=domaini.com
DomainNameAlias10=domainj.com

You just need to have the MX record for the domain pointing to NowSMS, or otherwise get the messages forwarded to NowSMS.
