What is your scheduled_delivery_time if you set deferred to a higher value?
In this case, the immediate delivery is correct, from a point of view of
your SMSC.
Because you submit the message at 19:48:07 (Argentina time) and the message
should be delivered at 23:48:07 (UTC time). These times are identical.
In smsbox.c the msg->sms.deferred field is copied directly from the http
parameter.
The following code translates this field into the
pdu->u.submit_sm.schedule_delivery_time:
if (msg->sms.deferred >= 0) {
struct tm tm = gw_gmtime(time(NULL) + msg->sms.deferred * 60);
pdu->u.submit_sm.schedule_delivery_time =
octstr_format("%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d000+",
tm.tm_year % 100, tm.tm_mon + 1, tm.tm_mday,
tm.tm_hour, tm.tm_min, tm.tm_sec);
}
As far as I can see, this is correct.
Still there should be some kind of bug here, because if the log that you
show is a pdu from posting the link that is just above the log, the
schedule_delivery_time should be "060621234907000+" (note the 8 that is now
a 9).

SMPP:
7.1.1.1 Absolute Time format
This is the default format used by SMPP. Scheduled delivery times and expiry
times are
specified in their global UTC format, including the quarter hour offset and
direction symbol "+"
or "-".

Subject: Re: deferred parameters
I've upgraded Kannel to latest CVS release, 20060621 and I still can't
defer the messages.
I've tried with a simple message:
http://myhost:myport/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=myuser&password=mypass&from=12
34&to=1234567890&smsc=mysmsc&text=test&deferred=1
But the message gets delivery inmediately.
Here's a copy of kannel.log where the PDU is being logged:

I can see there's a line:
schedule_delivery_time: "060621234807000+"
It looks like it's GMT +1 time, but the date it's not being offsetted
at all (19:48:07 gets translated to 23:48:07 +000).
BTW, the server is set to America/Buenos_Aires timezone (GMT -3) so
I'm not sure if that's ok or not...
I've tried with deferred=1, 60, 6000 and even 60000 to no avail, the
messages got delivered inmediately. (I even tried with negative
values, but I've got an error in return).
Maybe the SMSC it's ignoring the parameter, or schedule_delivery_time
it's wrong?
