not really... We can keep old behaviour in smsbox/wapbox (it's our extern
interface), but change this for internally interface smsbox<->bearerbox ...

So all your apps works as expected but internally we will have correct
timestamps...

see above... but as example: validity 2 days long, so your send to smsbox
2*24*60 , smsbox send to bearerbox localtime(...) + 2*24*60
