So I've read the docs but I'm not sure about:
a) how I know mysql-dlr system is really working. As docs indicates
I've
created the groups involved, dlr-storage is mysql, but I've never
seen any record
in the mysql table.
Well you could turn your phone off, then send a message to yourself.
Then look in the table. You should see the entry. Turn your phone
back on, receive the sms and then the entry should no longer be in
the table. This is of course providing you have turned on DLR when
sending the message. You need to specify a dlr-url and a dlr-mask. If
you set the masj to 31 you will get all possible DLRs. If things are
going well you should see 2 DLRs with status of 8 (submitted to smsc)
and 1 (delivered to handset)
b) How can I manage the difference between a SMS sent by user at
any time and a reply from a user to a SMS our server sent him/her
before?
This is down to your application, kannel can not help you here. You
need to hold some internal state so you know if your expecting a
reply. Of course you may want o add some intelligence into it to make
sure you you don't still treat it as a reply in 2 weeks time, or
maybe looking t the text to see if its a new keyword for your app maybe.
