Hi Tony,

Most of the MMS phones, when they send an MMS message, include a SMIL component. The SMIL component basically controls the timing and presentation of different message components.

You can certainly build your own SMIL file, and include it when submitting from the PC side.

I don't think that the SMIL file is related to the problem that you are experiencing.

Have all of the messages that you have sent from PC been relatively small in size? If so, try sending a larger message (bigger than 3KB) from the PC side (maybe include an image), and see if that also has a problem receiving. If so, it may be a lack of SAR (segmentation and re-assembly) support on the WAP gateway that you are using. For example, we've seen that the public WAP gateway on Orange UK does not support SAR and causes problems with larger messages. (Orange has a separate ring-fenced WAP gateway for MMS, following their same stupid ring-fencing strategy of when they first lauched WAP, but that's another story.)

If it's not a size issue, how about collecting a debug log from the MMSC, and sending it to me via e-mail for analysis. Edit MMSC.INI in the gateway directory, and under the [MMSC] section header, add Debug=Yes. Then restart the Now MMSC service. Repeat your test, and then e-mail the MMSCDEBUG.LOG file to nowsms@now.co.uk.

Glad the problem is sorted.

We've got a command line utility called MMSUSER that can be run to add, delete and modify users ... which is to be included in the next release (hopefully due next week).

However, I don't see any reason that MMSUSER wouldn't work with the current release. There are a couple of features that it references which aren't supported in the current release, but that shouldn't stop it from working.

Let me check to see if I can make this available prior to the new release.
