this is all true. The MMS application/daemon will talk over a Socks5
proxy to oFono to get access to the MMSC. And will use oFono's D-Bus
interface to get MMS push notifications.

For MMS support we are on purpose trying to avoid using ConnMan and will
handle all TCP connections that the MMS application/daemon needs via a
proxy. This is important to not interfere with the Internet connections.
In general the contexts for MMS are just for MMS only and so we handle
them internally in oFono.

I might look rather complicated and complex right now, but once the
basic pieces are getting merged into oFono, I hope this becomes a lot
clearer.
