1. A method for use in forwarding of a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message from a first multimedia messaging service interworking gateway (MMSIG) to a second MMSIG, the method comprising the steps of:
- at the first MMSIG, requesting a simple message transfer protocol (SMTP) session with the second MMSIG by means of a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection;
at the second MMSIG, establishing the SMTP session with the first MMSIG by means of the TCP connection;
at the first MMSIG, sending a forwarding message request in which an acknowledgment request field is set to be “
NO”
;
at the second MMSIG, sending to the first MMSIG an SMTP-interactive-status code indicative of successful receipt of the forwarding message request, and not sending any other forwarding message response to the first MMSIG,wherein the SMTP-interactive-status code indicative of successful receipt of the forwarding message request is “
250 OK”
, and the forwarding message request contains the MMS message.

Abstract
An implementing method for removing duplication protection for multimedia messaging service interworking forwarding message and multimedia messaging service interworking gateway. The method determines whether to return response message according to the different value of the acknowledgement request field of the request signaling. Using the SMTP-interactive-status code as a criterion, when the acknowledgement request field is set to be “NO”, requesting not to return the response message, and when the acknowledgement request field is set to be “YES”, requesting to return the response message. Determine whether the forwarding is successful by determining whether the SMTP-sending-status code returned by the response signaling is received according to the replying status of the response signaling.
