If you send all of those messages at once, I don't know how priority queues behave. If priority is the same and the time that messages are sent are within the same second. What do priority queues do?

Did you sent all these through a real SMSc? It must have costed a bundle. Use fakesmpp for the tests to avoid charges. Will need also relevant bb logs and your configuration.

Please note the sequence of messages in 'smsboxaccess0.log' and compare this to 'access.log'. Messages with the string 'Message 2' were sent after messages with the string 'Message 1'. 2010/8/25 Nikos Balkanas <nbalka...@gmail.com> And i am saying the same thing to you: Please share relevant log entries demonstrating this.

Priority is not changed for the newer messages and the messages are not retries. This is probably what the OP was referring to. 2010/7/20 Nikos Balkanas <nbalka...@gmail.com>: Thanks. It turns that priority queue in kannel is dtermined both by SMS priority and age of sms. I.e. if 2 sms have the same priority, the older one gets the call (FIFO). It is also implemented only in SMPP, EMI & at.

At least on SVN for a good time now, Kannel honors priorities, being 3 the highest and 0 the lowest. That means that if you have a big queue of priority-1 messages and send one priority-2 or 3 message, it will get delivered before the rest of the queue. The priority is also passed to the SMSC by means of SMPP's priority flag, but afaik most carriers ignore ESME settings for priority so do not expect it to work. Regards, Alex 2010/7/20 Nikos Balkanas <nbalka...@gmail.com> Hi, Priority is not used by kannel. It is part of the SMPP spec and is passed to receiving SMSc. Queue is FIFO, subject to constraints like sms-resend-freq and sms-resend-retry. If in doubt check store-queue from http admin.

The problem is that new messages get delivered earlier than the ones already queued. I have no idea what sort of queue it is? Is it a FIFO queue or the kannel just tries to send the messages from the smsbox directly if possible and if not then the message is queued? Please note that all the messages are at the same priority! Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks, Waqas Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. Sign up now. BR, Jason BR, Jason
