Yep, smsbox doesn't. Sqlbox, if you're not careful, does. The problem is with the way messages are checked. When messages are received from a box, they go to memory first _and_ the store later. In that case, bearerbox doesn't perform any sanity checks on the sms type field.
Now, when messages are retrieved from the store during boot, a sanity check is performed and the whole system panics if it encounter a single invalid message. I think two things would be needed here: 1. Perform the same sanity checks when getting messages from boxes and reject anything that would cause a problem when retrieved from the store. 2. Add an option to boot kannel discarding those corrupted messages. A few hundred corrupted messages in the store could mean a nightmare when trying to restart a crashed server.
