This this is a Kannel bug.

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!!

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!!

As everyone stated before if you're using multiple logins to the same SMSC operator just use same SMSC-ID. 2013/2/4 David Szanto <dsza...@genasys.com> 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!!!

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. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: users-boun...@kannel.org [mailto:users-boun...@kannel.org] Im Auftrag von David Szanto Gesendet: Freitag, 1. Februar 2013 14:10 An: users@kannel.org 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! David Szanto
