Hi,
Absolutely no operational benefit whatsoever, for storing DLRs. Rather a
performance overhead. You can always disable all DLRs from your
configuration.
However, DLRs are necessary for billing. Each SMS (MO or MT) costs and you
want to charge this back to your client. Your DLR is your proof in case of
disputes. It is smsc binding. The question of where to store DLRs and for
how long, is purely a business decision and only your company can decide
that.
BR,
Nikos

Subject: What is the operational benefit of DLR storage?
I'd like to know what is the operational benefit of using DLR storage
within Kannel?
We are currently using an external postgresql store for DLRs and once the
data is stored we are not doing anything with it.
We use a single kannel instance most of the time so there is no
requirement to have DLR's stored for other instances to pick up.
Our application may or may not request DLR's from the carriers as we
desire and processes them internally when they come in so the kannel dlr
storage is from this perspective a wasted effort on our part.
Is there any operational reason internal to kannel that I might want to
have DLR storage enabled?
If I disabled dlr storage / processing, would this impact the DLR messages
getting to our application to be processed?
