I wish to make nowsms send out a MMS to an email address through an operator account using a connected ericsson gprs card. The effect I wish to achieve is that the resulting email, when it arrives at the email recipient, should appear to have been delivered by the operator, and sent from the account in the ericsson gprs card. So nowsms should deliver this by uploading it to the operator using the ericsson card. Is it possible? /FE | |||

Yes. But it is tricky. The web interface will not allow you to submit a message to be sent to an e-mail address. But you can submit to an e-mail address if you submit the message via MM1, EAIF or MM7. You need an update to v5.51, such as the update patch that can be downloaded from http://www.nowsms.com/download/20041230.zip. Then, in the "MMSC Outbound Routing" to define a recipient pattern match that would cause e-mail recipients to also get routed via the MMSC, you need to define a recipient mask that includes a "@" character in the "Route messages to this account for recipient phone number" field. For example, a mask of *@* to route all e-mail recipients via that route, or *@domain to match a particular domain. If NowSMS receives an MMS message (via MM1, EAIF or MM7), any e-mail recipients would also get checked against any outbound routing masks that included an "@" symbol ... and routed via an MMS connection instead of direct SMTP. -bn | |||

Thanks, this works! There is a slight problem though. I cannot seem to change the sender address to a number different from that of the actual sending sim (which is set in the SMSC Connection for that modem). I can confirm that the Nokia server service toolkit is submitting (with mm7) the <SenderAddress><Number displayonly="false">+46xxxxxxx</Number></SenderAddress>. And in the MMSC Routing panel in nowsms I have a route that handles the incoming message, which has the Allow Sender Address Override checked. Speaking of routes, right now the route is chosen by the mask set in the route when the mask matches the message address. But I'm wondering if there is some other way of choosing the route. Since I am sending MMS messages to email addresses, the only way of choosing route for me right now is to include something in the email address that matches in the route mask. For example, if I want to route through routeX, which has a mask of *telia*@* I can only get messages routed here if the email address contains telia. I would like to send a message to any email address using my choice of route. /FE | |||

Hi Frederik, Generally speaking, when you submit through a GPRS modem, you cannot override the sender address. If you attempt to override the sender address (allow sender address override is checked), my experience is that the MMSC will either reject the message, silently discard the message without delivering it, or override the sender address with the phone number associated with the modem. I might not be understanding your second question correctly, but there is not another way to specify a route choice other than an address mask on the recipient. (To help explain why, keep in mind that when you submit via MM7, there is no extra field to specify routing.) Well, I take that back, we also do a match on the sender address, comparing the sender address in the submitted message against the default sender address associated with a route. That might be of some use to you. -bn | |||
