Paul,

 

I am sorry for my delay in replying.  We have been going through the
off-net certification process with our provider, Syniverse Technologies,
so we can send MMS messages to the rest of the telecom world.  In the
meantime we put some hacks in to get the numbers to display properly.
Internally it does not matter whether the number comes across as 10
digits, i.e. 4402221111, or with 11 digits, 14402221111, but when we
send the MM4 communication to Syniverse we must send it as +14402221111.
I am hesitating to say that what you are suggesting is what I need as I
am still learning what should be expected from Mbuni versus what I
should be expected to do on my own.  

 

It would be great for Mbuni to be able to see any destination number,
i.e. +1440, 1440, or 440, and be able to insure that all numbers going
out MM4 are in the +1440... format.  We wrote a script that gets called
instead of the sendmail.postfix command, takes the content and parses
it, extracting out and reformatting the From: and To: fields inside the
message and rebuilds the mail message with the correct number
formatting.  We add the +1 as a part of the recipient address field to
help this process.  

 

send-mail-prog = /usr/local/bin/mmsmail '+1%t'

#send-mail-prog = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix -f '%f' '+1%t'

 

We are fine with handling all number modifications with an intermediary
script, but we don't want to neglect the rest of the Mbuni community in
case someone else has run into the same problem.

 

What do you think?

 

Matthew

Hello Matthew,

 

 I've had a look and the problem you're facing seems to be related to
the fact that mbuni uses the normalized form for routing but does not
modify it within the received MMS. Hence what you're seeing on MM4. It's
an easy change though... 

 Please  confirm that this is what you need.

Hello All,

 

We have been using Mbuni for our internal MMS messaging for over a
couple of years now and it has worked great.  We are beginning to work
with an "off-net" MMS provider.  One of their requirements is to have
the "to" address field begin with "+1" to accept the message.  All of
our numbers are processed internally with the 10 digit MIN/MDN and so
all I need to do is add the "+1" to any message I send to the MM4
communication.  I have added the following to my mms.conf:

 

 

group = mbuni

...

unified-prefix = "+1,1"

...

 

group = mmsproxy

...

allowed-prefix = +1

denied-prefix = ""

...

 

Here are the snippets from the log file.  I have sanitized the "to"
number to be 222-222-2222, the home mmsc to be 1.1.1.1 and the remote
mmsc to be 1.1.1.2.  

 

==> access.log <==

You can see that the + is in the second mmsc.log entry but when it
passes it off to MM4 the + is not there.

 

Does anyone know the correct way to add a prefix to all messages routed
to the mmsproxy or what I am doing wrong with the current setup?  Thank
you in advance.
