Hi, Guys,
May I add another idea?
Since you are using an external (to kannel) proccesing unit for your MO
messages, just add to corresponding sms-service the option "max-messages=0".
This will force kannel not to send back any message (and not to wait for a
response, of course). Now you may use the http interface to send back to
user the MT message containing the result of processing at your convenient
timing (you may delay the answer as needed).
This method is tested and works well with the last three stable versions of
Kannel, (1.2.1, 1.4.0, 1.4.1).
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Mihai Zsigmond
