RE: SMS message reliability

I have connected with two smpp links.
One of my clients tried pushing messages and i directed them to one of
the links. Now the link broke up saying "fd error", hoping the provider
cannot accept the messages at higher speeds.
But during that disconnection messages got their way to the store file.
My store file was containing 6000 messages earlier today and now it has
over 9000. Each message is important to the client.
Now if i restart kannel i am afraid if all the messages in the store
will be sent out.
My question is why the store is piling up messeges? Shouldn't it sent
the messages to the available active link?

-Regards
