So it looks like different SMSC vendors have different interpretations of 
the message queue full error code. 

The message queue full in your case is a transient error, that is the
message can be retried after a certain period of time. Currently with Kannel, 
there is no way to indicate this information to the user application in
a submission notification. Is this something that should be added?
