Dear Paul,
I was finally able to solve the MTA problem, no thanks to the documentation or
this list, but to many hours of google searching. To protect any future users
from this ordeal (both effort & time consuming) I would like to post a patch to
the documentation. MTA configuration involves many steps in the mbuni
installation, so I think it is an integral part of the user's guide.
What format do you use? Is it OK to submit a unified diff to
doc/userguide.shtml?
BR,
Nikos

No, extracting the info from the headers is not reliable, for the obvious
reasons (one of which is the Bcc problem). I can't recall the exact flags, but
I recall it being straightforward to pass this info from both sendmail and
postfix

Hi,
I have read the doc and also tested it from the shell. From an MTA pipe it
will get the whole email, headers and body. Wouldn't it be better to just
extract the info it needs from the mail headers? I don't know an easy way to
pass sender and destination from the MTA. I can write a wrapper parser which
calls mmsfromemail with the right atguments, but that would defeat the whole
purpose. With the same effort I could just patch mmsfromemail to do it itself.
BR,
Nikos

It will get the body of the message from standard input, the rest of the
flags (required) are in the doc :)

Thanks,
I am new to this. What kind of flags do i need to pass to mmsfromemail?
From what I read, mmsfromemail, when not run from shell, will get whatever it
needs from the mail itself. Else how can I pass these flags from sendmail? Is
it possible?
I am considering replacing sendmail with postfix. Will that work?

The easiest way is to ask sendmail (or whatever MTA) to hand over all
mail for the MM4 domain to mmsfromemail (with relevant flags).

Hi,
I actually have made progress to most points. Indeed mbuni needs
sendmail to work and abides by all its quirks. In other words a FQDN is needed
to work. The only thing I still haven't manage to do is describe the alias
needed for MM4 to work with sendmail:
3069xxx/TYPE=PLMN: "| mmsfromemail ..."
Any example? The msisdn part should probably be a wildcard.
Thanks,
Nikos

Subject: MM4 help
Hi,
I am an mbuni newbie and have just compiled latest mbuni release.
I have read the documentation (at least tried to :-)) and I am trying to
establish an MM4 -> MM4 link between 2 mbunies.
I have configured the following to mbuni1:
group = mmsproxy
name = "test proxy"
host = x.x.x.x
allowed-prefix = "3069"
And in the mmsrelay logs from mbuni1 I am getting:
2009-11-11 17:49:09 [10475] [6] DEBUG: Content-ID: <1940197759>
2009-11-11 17:49:09 [10475] [6] DEBUG: WSP: End of decoded
headers.
2009-11-11 17:49:09 [10475] [6] INFO: mmsc for "3069xxxxxx"
resolved to: "x.x.x.x"
2009-11-11 17:49:09 [10475] [6] DEBUG: preparing to execute
/usr/sbin/sendmail -f 'x.x.x.x/TYPE=IPv4' '3069xxxxx/type=p...@x.x.x.x' to send
to email:
2009-11-11 17:49:10 [10475] [6] INFO: Queued Global Queue MMS
Send [w-82-qf4247.2.x469.56]: From x.x.x.x/TYPE=IPv4, to 3069xxxxx/TYPE=PLMN,
msgsize=53134: err=(null)
But i am seeing nothing to mbuni2 logs. In mbuni2 I run mmsproxy
& mmsrelay.
I have read in the guide something about running "mmsfromemail
should be called from your MTA (SMTP Mailer)". I am not doing it.
2 questions:
1) Does host need to be a DNS fqdn? If it tries to send the email
to 3069xxxx/type=p...@x.x.x.x it will fail.
2) Do I need to run mmsfromemail from sendmail for MM4 to work?
To do that with sendmail I need to configure an email account with shell
capabilities. If the recipient number changes, how can I specify that? Any
example?
Thanks,
Nikos
