Hello Nikos, Your assumption is correct, the "*" is not in the included config file its just in the email :). For your second point, when I deployed Kannel I wanted to have a distinct smsbox for each operator so that each operator MT's will be routed to its smsbox and smsc, and i searched the internet and found that its possible to do it this way, is there any other way to configure Kannel to achieve this approach.

Hi, What is your included operator1.conf file? Is this your: *** operator1 smsbox config file I am surprised this thing works at all. 1) Comments are specified by "#", not "*". I presume this is just in the email. 2) If the included file is the operator1.conf you post, then you end up with a configuration with 2 core groups! It should panic.

Hello All, I know that there is a lot of links indicating that Kannel doesnt do it, but i face it in my deployment, so I thought maybe its something wrong in my configuration. I'm using bearerbox with multiple smsboxes attached to it, along side with sqlbox. I have configured store subsystem as well. Whenever i stop bearerbox, all the queued MT's are dropped from the store and i get a delivery report (NACK/no SMSC) in the access log: 2010-03-27 11:33:15 Receive DLR [SMSC:op1smsc] [SVC:] [ACT:] [BINF:] [FID:] [from:999] [to:9647809863597] [flags:-1:-1:-1:-1:16] [msg:12:NACK/no SMSC] [udh:0:] 2010-03-27 11:34:55 Receive DLR [SMSC:op1smsc] [SVC:] [ACT:] [BINF:] [FID:] [from:999] [to:9647807102585] [flags:-1:-1:-1:-1:16] [msg:12:NACK/no SMSC] [udh:0:] Below is the config I made, PS: Kannel version 1.4.3, sqlbox version 0.7.2: ***smskannel.conf: group = core admin-port = 1500 smsbox-port = 13001 dlr-storage = mysql sms-resend-retry = 9 store-location = "/var/spool/kannel/kannel_mt.store" store-type = file store-dump-freq = 600 include = "/usr/local/kannel/etc/smsc_connections/operator1.conf" group = smsbox bearerbox-host = 127.0.0.1 bearerbox-port = 13002 http-request-retry = 600 http-queue-delay = 60 smsbox-id = smsbox group = smsbox-route smsbox-id = smsbox smsc-id = "op" group = smsbox-route smsbox-id = operator1smsbox smsc-id = "op1smsc" shortcode = "999" ***sqlbox configuration group = sqlbox id = compsqlbox smsbox-id = sqlbox bearerbox-host = localhost bearerbox-port = 13001 smsbox-port = 13002 sql-log-table = sent_sms sql-insert-table = send_sms ***operator1 smsbox config file group = core admin-port = 1500 smsbox-port = 13001 dlr-storage = mysql sms-resend-retry = 9 store-location = "/var/spool/kannel/kannel_mt.store" store-type = file store-dump-freq = 600 group = smsbox bearerbox-host = 127.0.0.1 bearerbox-port = 13002 http-request-retry = 600 http-queue-delay = 60 smsbox-id = operator1smsbox group = smsbox-route smsbox-id = smsbox smsc-id = "op" group = smsbox-route smsbox-id = operator1smsbox smsc-id = "op1smsc" shortcode = "999" Appreciate your help.
