franta-hg@28: for pre-paid subscribers the standard way to charge services is online franta-hg@30: – subscriber's balance is checked in the billing system and if sufficient, the service (e.g. sending a SMS) is provided, otherwise the service is denied; franta-hg@30: if the billing system is not currently available (so we can't say if the subscriber's balance is high enough), we can provide the service anyway and try to charge it later; franta-hg@30: this feature requires saving state (transactions which weren't charged yet) in some persitent storage (CDR files, SQL database etc.) franta-hg@30: and can be done at the billing gateway or directly at system like SMSC franta-hg@28: franta-hg@28: franta-hg@30: charging franta-hg@0: franta-hg@0: franta-hg@0: franta-hg@26: franta-hg@26: franta-hg@26: a service or particular short text message sent from or to a mobile phone;

franta-hg@46: the MDA can apply system-wide or user-defined filters on incoming messages; franta-hg@47: a filter has conditions (connected by logical operators: AND, OR…) like „message header contains value X“ franta-hg@47: and actions that will be done with the message like „file into folder X“ or „add flag/label X“ or „redirect message to some.address@example.com“ or „discard message“; franta-hg@46: filters are executed on the server where MDA resides, franta-hg@47: so they are independent of the MUA currently used by the user franta-hg@46: and works even if the user is offline (useful for OOTO messages when the user is on vacation) franta-hg@46: franta-hg@46: franta-hg@46: computer franta-hg@46: messaging franta-hg@46: franta-hg@46: franta-hg@46: franta-hg@46: franta-hg@46: franta-hg@48: an automatic response on a message (e-mail, SMS etc.) which is sent when the recipient is for example on vacation and can't respond immediately;
