Re: Strange smsbox/bearerbox problem : SMS messages not being sent

That doesn't sound right :)

With our connection to Orange we have higher capacity, however still got
0x00000058 I/F Throttled Error when we exceed our per second limit.

e.g. "2003-06-10 11:48:07 [5] ERROR: SMPP[Orange]: SMSC returned error code
0x00000058 in response to submit_sm."

Kannel then throttles back (although not very elegantly) and we resume
message sending.

Couple of thoughts.

1. Are you using the CVS version of Kannel?
2. Should a throttle message be an INFO message not an ERROR (it is
perfectly legal to over send as long as we react to the throttling messages)
3. Control the speed at application level before sending to Kannel
4. We should have more elegant throttling code in the SMPP driver

Regards

Alex
