Hi,
When I try to send an MM7 message to >5 recipients I get the following response :
<statuscode>4003</statuscode>
<statustext>Unsupported Operation</statustext>
<details>No valid recipients</details>

Is there a maximum number of recipients per message?

5 recipients is definitely not a problem.

Theoretically our limit is 100000, but so far we haven't tested more than 1000. (Something for me to add to my list of testing duties.)

Could you please post the MM7 envelope that you are submitting? (Just the XML bit, we don't need to see the content.)

The reason why this was happening is :
I was sending the MM7 envelope as 1 long string. When I add line breaks the problem is solved.

However I have carried out some tests and discovered the following:
I create a socket connection and send a message to 100 recipients - everything is fine.
I try to send a message to 500 recipients and I don't get any response back from NowSMS.

Does this have anything to do with my particular licence?

Hi Barbara,

I just tried your XML above, removing all line breaks, and it worked without any problems. So I don't think that this would be a factor.

I can confirm, however, that there is a bug in the current release when you attempt to send to more than 200 to 300 recipients via MM7.

We are planning to post a patch shortly to correct this and a couple of other problems (including the problem that you posted last week).

I'll try to remember to post a follow-up here when the patch is uploaded ... but we plan to post a note to the "What's New" section ... http://www.nowsms.com/whatsnew.htm ... as soon as the patch is uploaded.
