Hi Andreas,

Thank you for this.

I'm sure this can be patched to make it work. but its not really intentional to have a field destination address.
the data is what the user types. As this is a session, this makes sense.


You can temporary comment out this section in gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c (line 442-464 ) to see if that works around the problem.


    /*
     * Follows SMPP spec. v3.4. issue 1.2
     * it's not allowed to have destination_addr NULL
     */
    if (pdu->u.deliver_sm.destination_addr == NULL) {
        error(0, "SMPP[%s]: Malformed destination_addr `%s', may not be empty. "
              "Discarding MO message.", octstr_get_cstr(smpp->conn->id),
              octstr_get_cstr(pdu->u.deliver_sm.destination_addr));
        *reason = SMPP_ESME_RINVDSTADR;
        goto error;
    }

 this should be, because they claim my app (kannel) is what is not accepting the destination address.
