Hi Srinivasa,
What I meant was that you should use the default-sender of
a sendsms-user configuration block in order to limit the
scope of the "short code".
Placing the "short code" in the global-sender parameter of
the smsbox configuration block will force all sendsms-user
interfaces to use the "short code" when an origination address
is not defined for an MT SMS.
Also, the Destination Address for all MO SMS are forced to be
the global-sender defined "short code".
Here's the pseudo-code derived from the source code:
OA = Origination Address
DA = Destination Address
For MO messages:
( From smsbox.c:obey_request_thread()...)
if ( "faked_sender" set ) then
DA = "faked_sender"
else if ( "global_sender" set ) then
DA = "global_sender"
else
DA = "DA from SMS"
For MT messages:
( From smsbox.c:smsbox_req_handler(), smsbox_req_sendota(), and
smsbox_sendsms_post()...)
if ( "faked_sender" set ) then
OA = "faked_sender"
else if ( "OA" set ) then
OA = OA
else if ( "default_sender" set ) then
OA = "default_sender"
else if ( "global_sender" set ) then
OA = "global_sender"
Therefore, it is better to use the default-sender in the
sendsms-user configuration block since it generates less side-effects.
See ya...
