Paul, I'm assuming that we're on a continuation of the discussion here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/2115.html And I'm just cross-referencing that for the benefit of others so that they can understand what I'm referring to. The "MMSC Routing" function is primarily intended to allow you to route messages to users external to the MMSC to another MMSC. For your setup, I wouldn't use MM1. That is an HTTP POST of the binary format. We primarily have that option in place to allow users to route outbound MMS messages to an operator MMSC over GPRS. MM7 is an HTTP post with an XML header, and MIME encoding of the content (similar to MIME encoding of an e-mail message). An example of the type of HTTP POST that you would receive is found at the following link: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages_MM7.htm MM4 is another option. That is SMTP based. Most of our customers that use this are mobile operators who are using this for MMSC interconnections with other operators. The MM4/SMTP format might be a little easier for you to decode. However, you would have to setup an SMTP server to accept the messages, and the "To:" field is going to be variable (phonenumber@domain.name, where "domain.name" is configured in the configuration dialog), which might present a challenge for whatever SMTP server you setup to receive the messages. An example of the MM4 dialog is shown at the following link: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Submitting_MMS_Messages_MM4.htm The message format is simpler, but it is the SMTP dialog that might prove to be more of a challenge, while MM7 is simply an HTTP POST. | |||
