The smsbox-list empty is obvious if the smpp user disconnects. Bearerbox doesn't have anywhere to route the dlr to. It will be in the bearerbox queue until the same user connects again.

DLRs can come in at any time. BB is counting that smsbox will be connected to receive them. If not they accumulate in queue and bb rechecks every 30" for connectivity. Anyway Rene seems that he has located the problem and is working on a fix. Your warning about smsbox-list empty is ominous. Please investigate. What do corresponding smppbox logs say?

The way it works is: it connects to smppbox for 60 seconds and sends all the sms (I suppose it can manage a considerable amount of sms in 60 seconds, at least more than 10 ;) ) Then it disconnects after the 60 seconds elapsed and reconnects again after another 60 seconds for deliveries. The problem with kannel was it couldn't manage 12 sms in 60 seconds ;). I will try test my system with staying connected all the time. I will post my results ;) Cheers, Davit > From: rene.klu...@chimit.nl > To: nbalka...@gmail.com; davit.mirzo...@hotmail.com; ad...@impexrur.pl; > users@kannel.org > Subject: RE: smppbox bulk sms: slow reception from a client > Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:06:29 +0200 > > If a client disconnects from open smppbox, bearerbox doesn't see the > "smsbox" anymore, so no DLR's are sent nor need to be queued. > They will stay in bearerbox until client connects again. > > But well... if your smpp client disconnects whilst in the middle of > sending/receiving, that explains a lot. > > =-= Rene > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nikos Balkanas [mailto:nbalka...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, 18 August, 2010 12:56 > To: Davit Mirzoyan; rene.klu...@chimit.nl; ad...@impexrur.pl; > users@kannel.org > Subject: Re: smppbox bulk sms: slow reception from a client > > Hi, > > Connecting/disconnecting is not the recommended kannel operation.
