I'm testing sending MMS from mobile phone emulator to MMSC. Now SMS/MMS Gateway is installed on a windows PC(WinXP SP2), its IP is 192.168.10.8. The mobile phone emulator is installed on a Linux PC. Its IP is 192.168.10.120.

I did below activities on Now SMS/MMS Gateway(192.168.10.8):
1. Only active MMS service, HTTP port is 8800;
2. Add a MMSC user, the number is +4477777777 and the password is 1111;
3. Add MMSC VASP user, the account name is 192.168.10.120, password is 1111;

I set mobile phone emulator’s MMS Center as http://192.168.10.8:8800/+447777777777=1111

But I always got ‘send message failed’ message after sending MMS from emulator to Now SMS/MMS Gateway. Moreover, there are nothing displayed on event log dialog, besides Now SMS/MMS Gateway starting/stop related log.

For receiving MMS, if above configuration steps on Now SMS/MMS Gateway are correct?

For sending MMS, the above configuration steps are correct. However, there is no reason to define a VASP account.

Normally, the SMS gateway defaults to port 8800 ... and the MMSC defaults to port 8080. If the SMS gateway service is active, then it might be grabbing that port instead of the MMSC. In which case you would be posting to the wrong port.

I'd suggest enabling the debug logs, and let's see what they show. It is always possible that the MMSC could be rejecting your message because it doesn't like something about it. The MMSCDEBUG.LOG should tell us more information.
