But in Kannel we have connect-allow-ip c.s. right? So I don't see it is contrary to Kannel philosophy. == Rene -----Original Message----- From: Nikos Balkanas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: woensdag 7 juli 2010 1:56 To: Rene Kluwen; 'ishagh ouldbah'; [email protected] Subject: Re: smpp restrict connection to a specific client I wouldn't recommend it. It is contrary to kannel philosophy (vis a vis sendsms-user). Besides there is better external software for this and anyone concerned about that level of security, already has a dedicated firewall installed.
