I'm testing MMS gateway. I've set a VASP account for my server and I'm submitting messages via SMTP (MM4) to NowSMS Gateway. According to routing table this message shoud be then sent to my provider via EAIF. This works fine, however there are some issues with addressing. When sending via SMTP to NowMMS Gateway i set the receipement address as <+number/TYPE=PLMN@mms.mydomain>. I also want to set up sender address to be phone number schme. However, when I specify sender as <+number/TYPE=PLMN@mms.mydomain> then something strange happens. When message is sent to my provider via EAIF the receiver address is correctly set us <+number/TYPE=PLMN> but the sender address remain in SMTP form (<+number/TYPE=PLMN@mms.mydomain>). I can force sender address to: +number/TYPE=PLMN at VASP configuration, and then EAIF message is sent correctly, but this is only a temporary solution. What if I want to setup many services on that single VASP account and sent messages from many different sender numbers? Of course I can do a workaround, by setting many IP addresses, etc. and force the sender address in VASP configuration TAB, but this solution seems stragne. Sorry for my language. I hope you are able to help me. Thanks in advance. | |||

Hi Maruisz, I'm sorry that I missed your message out here last week. I can see what you mean. In true MM4, the "From:" header in the SMTP message is supposed to be without a domain name (e.g., just +number/TYPE=PLMN). And the SMTP envelope "MAIL FROM" must be fully qualified with a domain name (e.g., <+number/TYPE=PLMN@mms.mydomain>). So in an actual MM4 internetworking environment, this has not an issue. But when you're trying to adapt other SMTP software into this environment, it can be pretty tough to specify an address in a "From:" header that does not include an "@domain". I don't see any problem with us recognising that the domain is local, and treating the sender address as a phone number instead of an SMTP e-mail address. If you'd like to see an update to handle this, please e-mail me at nowsms@now.co.uk. -bn | |||
