Thank you, Davor. It makes sense. I have checked the code of the application used to communicate with kannel, however, it is written in golang, which I am not very familiar with. There is coding mentioned there, but there is also a branch to choose. Is there a way for me to find out from the logs what is being requested? I have debug logs on, and haven't noticed anything, but maybe I am missing something.
