Short Mail Service - Need tech info

I need to understand the format behind Short mail. If something is
displayed with "Unknown Sender", what other info is available on that
message? Who at sprint has the computer logs that show the IP address
of the sender, or is it still embedded in the message? Who at sprint
and through what method does one get this information?

Thanks,

Mike

Shortmail supports alias names. It's possible the phone number is still
in the message.

Probably Network Ops. Or some division within that concentrates on
Shortmail. Starting to sound like maybe you're being harrassed?

You probably won't get it for just "learning" purposes, but if there
*is* a place to do it, you might want to check out the SPCS developer
site at http://developer.sprintpcs.com

I don't know if they answer stuff like that there, but they do if anyone
does.

How does one get the raw text of a shortmail message? As opposed to
what is display, similar issue to getting raw text of an email in
order to read the headers.

I don't think you can. Shortmail is a proprietary system. I don't even=20
get access to that kind of technical information, and I'm supposed to=20
support it.

There's a website, http://www.pdaapps.com , that has developed=20
applications that let our Palm PDA phones access Shortmail. They've=20
developed (basically) a proxy that access Shortmail for owners of those=20
phones and then send it to their own application installed on the Palm. =20
I don't know if they're willing to share what they know, but you might=20
want to at least ask them.

I didn't mention it last time, but you may find what you need at our=20
developer site, although I tend to think not:=20
