MMS Notifications

MMS notifications are messages that a unit sends when an MMS profile matches content in an MM1, MM3, MM4 or MM7 session. For example, the MMS profile detects a virus or uses content blocking to block a web page, text message or email. You can send notifications to the sender of the message using same protocol and the addressing headers in the original message. You can also configure MMS notifications to send notification messages to another destination (such as a system administrator) using the MM1, MM3, MM4 or MM7 protocol.

You need to enable one or more Notification Types or you can add an Antivirus Notification List to enable sending notifications,.

You can also use MMS notifications options to configure how often notifications are sent. The unit sends notification messages immediately for the first event, then at a configurable interval if events continue to occur. If the interval does not coincide with the window of time during which notices may be sent, the unit waits to send the notice in the next available window. Subsequent notices contain a count of the number of events that have occurred since the previous notification.

There are separate notifications for each notification type, including virus events. Virus event notifications include the virus name. Up to three viruses are tracked for each user at a time. If a fourth virus is found, one of the existing tracked viruses is removed from the list.

The notifications are MM1 m-send-req messages sent from the unit directly to the MMSC for delivery to the client. The host name of the MMSC, the URL to which m-send-req messages are sent, and the port must be specified.
