I've hacked the dlr mechanism to do an update rather than a delete.
Pretty simple to do -- even though I don't know C!
I'd be very keen for Kannel to dispense with the http interface
altogether and only supply database connectivity. Working with Postgres
triggers and foreign keys etc would make managing multiple users etc
very simple. However that would make it a different project, and Kannel
works very well as it does at the moment.
One issue that this does bring up, though, is that having native db
support (I'd recommend Postgresql here, again, due to its excellent
reliablity and BSD-style license) seems vital for persistant and unique
message ids across all SMSC groups.
To persist with the db paradigm further:
+------------------------------------------+
| +--------+ +----------+ |
sms in/ | | | | | | user's db
<---+----->| kannel +<------->| postgres +<----+--->
out | | | | | | interface
| +--------+ +----------+ |
+------------------------------------------+
This would mean replacing the kannel interface with the user's db
interface. I suppose this is no more complex than the existing work you
have to do with cgi or whatever to support multiple kannel users over
the internet.
Cheers!
