Hi everyone!
First off, thanks for all the helpful comments regarding this issue.
In the end, the problem was the SMSC. We where using an SMSC Simulator to carry out the functional and load test. Que delay time for the transition of each message state was set to "0". Due to this, Bearerbox would get final state messages (like "DELIVRD") before even creating the ACCEPTED notification. So, it would actually not have a message registered for the DLR it was getting from the SMSC.

After setting the Delay time to anything > 0, DLR worked like a charm!

Still, we learned a lot about how kannel sets IDs for messages and matches them to the corresponding DLRs thanks to all your comments!

Thanks a lot people!!

Hi spameden!
Thanks for the info! that is VERY helpfull. We've been testing a lot using the same smsc-id but we're still getting the error message at least 900 times for every 100000 DLR recieved.
The only difference now is that the message mentions type=2 instead of 1.


2013-02-04 11:92:35 [33491] [11] ERROR: SMPP[A]: got DLR but could not find message or was not interested in it id<27299> dst<20034628200743>, type<2>

We'll be testing what Alvaro suggested regarding the msg-id-type parameter in conjuntion to having the same smsc-id, which is clearly something we should be doing.

Also, we're not very sure if some routing would help or not in this case.
Thanks for all your input!!

Kannel matches specific DLR via SMSC-id (defined in the config) and Unique ID given by your SMSC operator.

Are you using MySQL as a backend for DLRs?

As everyone stated before if you're using multiple logins to the same SMSC operator just use same SMSC-ID.

    Hi Thomas!!
    Thanks for the tips!!
    We did try setting the same name for all smsc-id's, but had no
    luck.  We still got the error message for certain DLR that got
    unmatch with their original MT message.

    The problem was that since they all had the same ids, we could
    tell what connection was used to send back the DLR.  Yet, it
    didn't help much.
    We'll try doing what Alvaro suggested (testing the DLR id in Hex
    vs Decimal, etc... ) plus setting all smsc-id's the same.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but kannel sets the ID for the message
    using the message ID + the SMSC-ID, right?
    Are there any more parameters used in the equation?

    Thanks you all for the help!!!

    Use the same name for the SMSC ID's. So not A,B,C and D but just A. This way
    no matter what link the DLR is delivered on, it will match the original
    message. We've had the same setup in production with 6 binds (via EMI/UCP)
    for years.

    Betreff: Multiple SMSC connections to the same SMSC Instace DLR
    inconsistency

    Hi everyone!

    We have a scenario with a single SMSC (using SMPP) for which we have
    created 4 binds.

    So basically we have 4 SMSC groups in kannel for a single SMSC (and
    single account).

    We'll call Binds A,B,C and D.

    So, message 328515 is sent using bind A, but DLR for this message is
    delivered from the SMSC using bind B, which results in the following log
    error:

    smsc-sim4.log:2013-01-29 12:55:57 [16831] [35] ERROR: SMPP[B]: got DLR
    but could not find message or was not interested in it id<328515>
    dst<20034628200743>, type<1>

    Except for the smsc-id parameter, all other SMSC configuration
    parameters in kannel are identical:

    group = smsc
    smsc = smpp
    smsc-id = A
    host = smschost
    port = 2771
    receive-port = 2771
    smsc-username = smppclient1
    smsc-password = password
    system-type = VMA
    log-file = /var/log/kannel/smsc-sim1.log
    log-level = 0

    group = smsc
    smsc = smpp
    smsc-id = B
    host = smschost
    port=2771
    receive-port = 2771
    smsc-username = smppclient1
    smsc-password = password
    system-type = VMA
    log-file = /var/log/kannel/smsc-sim1.log
    log-level = 2

    group = smsc
    smsc = smpp
    smsc-id = C
    host = smschost
    port=2771
    receive-port = 2771
    smsc-username = smppclient1
    smsc-password = password
    system-type = VMA
    log-file = /var/log/kannel/smsc-sim1.log
    log-level = 2

    group = smsc
    smsc = smpp
    smsc-id = D
    host = smschost
    port=2771
    receive-port = 2771
    smsc-username = smppclient1
    smsc-password = password
    system-type = VMA
    log-file = /var/log/kannel/smsc-sim1.log
    log-level = 2



    We believe that because the DLR messages are incomming using a different
    smsc connection, the internal record for that message (328515) doesn't
    match up, thus leaving kannel not knowing what message the DLR recieved
    is for.

    So here is our question:
    If this is the problem:
    How can we avoid this?
    How can we assure kannel is able to match up DLR messages with their
    corresponding MT records?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks!
