Davinia, You need DLRs if you want to know if your operator has really delivered your messages to your recipients. If you don't use DLRs, you only can tell if the SMSC has _accepted_ the message for delivery, but many things can happen afterwards: * the client could be out of town, don't turn on the phone, sink it in water or whatever, and the message times out in the SMSC after (usually) 24hs. * The client could had cancelled his account or be without credit, etc. In all those cases, there should be a way to tell Kannel that the message has failed. That's what DLRs are for. In order to use DLRs, your carrier must activate DLRs for your account (and you must activate DLRs on the .conf file of course). I suggest you to use a database to store DLRs since the default method is to store in memory, so they will be lost if you reboot the gateway.
