@Alvaro: As Nikos said. According to UG it is only the DLRs that are safe and my question is about queued SMS not DLR.
@Nikos. Thanks, it is in the configuration file already. There didn't appear to be a restart-smsc so I used so stop-smsc and start-smsc and that did the trick. Something else you said reminded me of a question I had been meaning to ask. If we wanted to add an SMSC to our configuration would it be possible to start that bind without having to restart the bearerbox. I attempted to add a new bind yesterday and use the start-smsc command but I kept getting could not restart smsc response from Kannel. I looked in the logs but didn't see any errors or warnings. I restarted Kannel and the bind connected straight away. Regards, 2010/8/24 Nikos Balkanas <[email protected]> > Not quite. Internal storage refers to dlr-storage.
