If you can send a WAP push to your phone ok, but you cannot send a notification for that file with the URL pointing to our web site, then this most likely indicates that your mobile operator has closed their network to external MMSCs.

This means that the only way that you can use NowSMS to send MMS messages are:

1.) If you change the settings on recipient mobile phones to a different GPRS APN and WAP gateway IP address (usually just copy the GPRS APN and WAP Gateway IP config that is used for your WAP browser settings).

2.) Configure NowSMS to send MMS messages through the operator MMSC over GPRS, instead of performing direct delivery.

3.) Use Multimedia WAP Push and deliver the multimedia content to the WAP browser instead of the MMS client.

Here are some links that explain how MMS works, and will better explain the "closed" issue that I mentioned above. They will also explain the two approaches that can be used for sending MMS (which approach you use depends on whether or not your mobile operator has blocked access to external MMSCs).

Regarding your other questions:

Because the MIME content type for the MMS message file is not configured on your web server. See this thread for a more complete discussion: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/1350.html

Regarding the mmscdebug.log, that appears normal. Before NowSMS sends a notification for a URL, it verifies that the URL is valid, and has the correct MIME content type, and has valid content. In this case, it is NowSMS that is fetching the URL from the MMSC to validate this fact ... before it sends out the notification.
