Hello, I have a GPRS modem, and it seems it can receive MMS's, but it does not forward them to the email address I have set.
I can see the incoming MMS in MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG, and I see a line in MMSC-20050912.LOG, with time, sender phone, and the right email address, but no e-mail arrives.
Please help.

Hi Camilla,

If you see something in the MMSC-yyyymmdd.LOG file, then it sounds like the MMS has made it in through the modem (which is usually the most difficult part to configure), but that the e-mail configuration is not complete.

NowSMS can only deliver e-mail through a relay host. Basically what this means is that whenever it has an e-mail message to send, it connects to a mail server that is pre-configured in its configuration dialog, and asks it to send the message.

Make sure you have a valid "SMTP Relay Host:" defined on the "MMSC" page of the configuration dialog.

If all of the e-mail messages are just getting routed to you, then you can specify your normal SMTP mail server as this value.

Also, make sure that "Activate MMSC Service" is enabled on the "MMSC" page of the configuration dialog. If you see a warning about a port already being in use, then change the "HTTP Port Number" and/or "SMTP Port Number" on that configuration dialog. Any available port number can be used, as those values are not important for your configuration.
