RE: SMS message reliability

Both is true.

If a store-file is configured in kannel.conf, then Kannel will resend
messages that were not sent yet before the crash.
If no such file is configured, then those SMS messages will be lost.

Currently there is no other option than an internal-format Kannel-specific
store file.
AFAIK also there are no plans to implement a SQL driven store file.

Subject: SMS message reliability


Hi,

I've recently been reviewing the documents (arch and
userguide) that you have about the SMS Gateway, and
I've come across what seems to be a contradiction.  In
both of the latest architecture documents (1.2.1 and
1.3.2), the "Better Quality" section of Chapter 6
states that Kannel will lose all SMS messages it has
received from an SMSC if it crashes.  Yet, when
looking over the release notes for development version
1.1.4, it states that Kannel can be configured to
store the SMS messages to file until they are
processed.  Anyone know which is true?

On a similar note, if the SMS messages can be stored
to file, are there any other options for storage
(perhaps a database)?  Are these future features or
concepts that have yet to be discussed?

Thanks.
