Hi Michael,
I had this already figured out by reading the UG and experimenting a
little. (maybe more than a little hehehe)
I'm getting the first dlr from the smsc and it's calling my dlr-url
correctly (I made a perl .cgi that get's the parameters and store the
new dlr status on mysql).
So far, I guess we both got to the same place ;)
My doubt was about the dlr-mask I was using (because I thought I wasn't
requesting smsc the right thing for it to give me full dlrs).
Nikos confirmed that I'm using the right mask, so now I have to strugle
with my operator's smsc.
I guess I'll try the other 2 operators smsc with other sims on the same
phone to check if any of them provide with full dlrs.
Thanks a lot for the time you took to explain me how dlr-url works.
Cheers!
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,
I wish, I could give you the full answer to your question, but I am
struggling now for some weeks to recover the full DLR and store it in a
MySQL database. I have learned some things in those weeks and I hope, I will
finally accomplish it soon.
What I have figured out so far, is:
- you receive a first DLR (the "submit_sm_resp ") that serves as an
acknowledgement from your provider (e.g., 8). This just means, that the
provider has received your request to send the SMS;
- it is the second DLR (the "deliver_sm" that you are looking for where the
provider confirms whether the message was actually delivered (or whether the
attempts to deliver the message failed, the mobile number was incorrect,
ect.).
This second message is delivered over HTTP and you will have to set up a
Call Back URL (something like:
http://yourserver.com/dlr.php?smscID=%i&dlr=%d&answer=%A&to=%p&from=%P&ts=%T
&smsID=07fceb25372fcc4cb847c7099008500e&charset=%C&kannel_id=%I)
This is called the dlr-url which you will have to define in your kannel
configuration, and on your server you will need a php script, that your
provider can call and submit the values of the delivery report to. These
will come in the form of parameters such as '%p' and '%u' (see pggs. 94-95
of the UG).
The php script captures these values and stores them in your database. This
is the bit where I am stuck :-(
There is plenty of material in the UG and in the various forums. What
beginning Kannel users like you and I miss, is a good description of how it
all comes together. I am sure that once we have see everything working, we
will say "Ah, of course!".
Anyhow, I hope, the above will help to get you started and maybe the experts
can correct me where I am wrong.
Regards,
Michael

Hello everyone.
Excuse me for this dumb question, but I got lost on the UG regarding this.
I'm using an LG phone and I have MT and MO working fine.
When sending a message via HTTP I'm setting dlr-mask=31
I'm getting DLR correctly but only with status = 8 (delivered to smsc).
When I get the sms on my mobile phone, there's nothing being received by
kannel, so my guessing is that I'm setting dlr-mask with a value that
doesn't ask my mobile operator to get a DLR for the sent message. Or am
I wrong?
Can someone explain which are valid values for dlr-mask if I want to
request for full DLR to the operator?
(I'm sure my operator supports DLR, because when sending from the phone
with this option enabled, I get a DLR when it gets delivered on the
destination's mobile)
Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards,
Alejandro
