I have been playing with sending MMS messages and now I finally happy with the process.

Now I am looking at how NowSMS MMSC handle delivery reports. I am told that when you specify in your SOAP envelope that you want a delivery report, it is sent back to you. My Operator's MMSC sends it back to our IP through a port of our choosing.

We would have to listen to that port and receive whatever is sent, the problem with this is that these are HTTP posts and I would rather not do a low level program for that. How does NowSMS/MMS handle delivery reports, and what do I have to do to get them?

Well, you'd tell the provider to make an MM7 connection to the IP of the NowSMS PC, on the HTTP port configured for the MMSC.

The URL needs to be /mm7 (e.g., http://ip.address:port/mm7)

They need to authenticate with a username and password that is defined for an account defined to NowSMS on the "MMSC VASP" page. Or, they need to generate their requests from a particular IP address, and you define the IP address as the account name.

In this case, you would want to configure one of the special options for "MMSC Routing for Received Messages".

Either "Receive to MMS-IN Directory", or "Forward to e-mail address" would be possible options.

The "Receive to MMS-IN Directory" would write the file to the MMS-IN subdirectory and there would be a "Message-type: m-delivery-ind" header in a file that was related to a delivery report.
