Hi Bryce.

My MMS stuff is running perfectly. Allready go some customer running on it. So it has been a good service for my company to download mms files, and deliver the content to our customers.

Now based on my experience i have a small thing that might mean a lot to the program.
Lets say i have 2 modems running on my server.
When nowsms retrieve the mms messages it downloads and unpacks them in the \nowsms\MMS-IN\[subfolder] directory.
What i would like was that the program made a subfolder in MMS-IN based on the modems phonenumber, so that the MMS files would be saved like this:
\nowsms\MMS-IN\[phonenumber]\[subfolder]

Then i would have a much better order in my stuff.

Maybe you allready have somthing where i am able to set som properties in a ini file. If true then please tell me.

All the best
Lars

Hi Lars,

That would be a good idea. Or possibly to have a configurable directory per modem line would be good (since we do have various MMS receiving options now that can be set on a per modem basis).

Unfortunately between now and the end of the year, we've got our plates full on some other updates.

So right now, the only solution I can suggest is filtering them based upon the "To:" header in the .HDR file for the received message. (Which I'm sure you're already doing because I remeber you telling us that we needed to make sure that we inserted this field, based upon the phone number configured for the modem, as it was generally not present in messages you received from your provider.)

Yes you're right. i am splitting the services that way.
My suggestion would be less timeconsuming in programming etc., so i hope you will remember me in the new year.
