Hi Nikos, Thank you for your kind response, much appreciated.
I have 2 follow up questions. I have backup kannel.spool files and apparently I have two files that were changed at the time am suspecting bearerbox crashed. They are named *kannel.spool.new* changed at *12:45:35PM* and *kannel.spool.bak* changed at *12:45:11PM* I have this in my *kannel.conf* file which I believe is suppose to point to the above file. However I do not have the kannel.spool file indicated on the store-location file shown below. How do I restore or fix this the kannel.spool file and what extension should it have if any? *store-type = file* *store-location = "/usr/local/kannel/kannel.spool"* My second question is how do I access the store tools by Alex? Lastly, you've talked about changing to spool store-type, is it just a matter of changing they store type indicated above? Again, am very grateful for your help!
