there could have been my fault or version mismatch but as of 1.3.1, there
are 2 variables *dlrurl* and *dlrmask*.

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.

Above line explains that.

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.
