I'm not entirely sure it's an SMSC issue.  I have sent messages from the
kannel GSM device to my mobile and between mobiles on the same network and
where I can view the sms date information it appears correct.  Over the same
network:

Kannel -> mobile = correct date
Mobile -> mobile = correct date
Mobile -> kannel = incorrect dat

I may have to try contacting the service provider to confirm that it's not
their system.

I would have had this down as more of a logging service.  As opposed to
specifying a logfile in kannel.conf it would be nice to specify a database
connection instead and have all SMS traffic logged to a database instead.
Has anyone created anything similar?

The executable works fine as there are other things that I need to do on
receipt of a text message.  However, I'm aware that the time at which a
message is received may not be the actual time at which it was submitted to
the SMSC.
