Jarlco, You seems to be in hurry. Please calm down.
Read this link http://www.kannel.org/download/1.3.1/userguide-1.3.1/userguide.html#AEN3199 Read the details of dlrurl an dlrmask here. http://www.kannel.org/download/1.3.1/userguide-1.3.1/userguide.html#AEN3530 and think thoroughly. >2. >what's the difference between "dlrmask=31" and "dlr-mask=31" >asking this because people say different things in different posts and I >tried dlrmask=31 but then an error message came up in my sms box saying use >"dlr-mask" instead. there could have been my fault or version mismatch but as of 1.3.1, there are 2 variables *dlrurl* and *dlrmask*. >3. >Does kannel never store messages in mysql unless you add &dlrmask (dlr-mask >?) to your send command? Kannel *doesnot* store messages. It just stores the details that are necessary to identify that the incoming DLR belongs to which msg that was sent earlier. >4. > >Now if the above is true (which I suspect) how then does kannel store an >incoming message? Above line explains that. > >Can I add dlrmask or dlr-mask in my kannel.conf file somewhere to make it >store incoming messages? i guess, there is a way to specify dlr-url (note the hyphen here) in the sendsms-user configuration group. BUT dlrmask has to be specified with kannel's http request. > >6. >>From earlier replies I've gathered a fair bit of information, I know a >dlr.php file is useful for handling messages and mysql, however do >I have to have one to store a message?
