Re: Kannel goes into a loop when message is not accepted by SMSC

Hi Rodrigo,

The problem is not with the receive window. What happens is that for some 
target numbers, the smsc queue is filled up. And when this happens, the smsc 
returns a error code 0x14. With kannel, when it sees this error code, the 
message goes into an immediate retry. I think i will modify kannel to drop 
these messages.

My smsc provider tells me that to change the queue, they would have to make 
a global change and that is not acceptable for them. This smsc is the 
primary smsc of the telco.

Regards,
Ambar Roy
