Sending MMS with kannel ...

2002-07-18 Thread Enzo dell'Aquila

Hi,

   I've just subscribed this mailing-list, so, what I have to ask could be
in previous posts.

I want to send MMS from Kannel to compliant MMS phones. I have a look to MMS
specifications, so it seems there are 2 ways:

a) M-send.request: sending MMS to MMSC Relay/server
b) M-notification.ind: sending directly MMS to phone

What's the best way? Is b) way correct?

Case a) I suppose I must have a link to operator MMSC ... how can I
use/configure kannel to communicate with operator MMSC ? Is this way for
mobile users only or can I use kannel to communicate with operator MMSC?

Case b) Are there any interoperability problems?
I have found an example here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@kannel.3glab.org/msg00972.html
Is that correct? Does it work? Are there any mms-related news from may 7,
2002?


A bit confused ...
Enzo

B) is OK.

MMSCs does the communicating to the other MMSCs. But protocols are SMTP
and IMAP. But does operators let you in, is another matter.

 Case b) Are there any interoperability problems?

No, because all phones must understand notification, otherwise they do 
not
fetch the message from the center.

 I have found an example here:

This should work (have tested it).
