Hi, It is common for some configuration variables to be converted to more manageable values in the code, depending on function calls. Seems 1000000 is considered large enough in this implementation to be practically infinite.
@Alex M: Could you please check the Reply-To field in the lists (devel&users). Lately it is all wrong. BR, Nikos ----- Original Message ----- From: Alejandro Guerrieri To: Kannel Devel Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 2:16 AM Subject: Queue length Hi, I was checking the code that handles the outgoing queue and I've came into this that got me confused. On gw/bb_smsconn.c, around line 1170: /* * if global queue not empty then 20% reserved for old msgs * and 80% for new msgs. So we can guarantee that old msgs find * place in the SMSC's queue. */ if (max_outgoing_sms_qlength > 0 && gwlist_len(outgoing_sms) > 0) { max_queue = (resend ? max_outgoing_sms_qlength : max_outgoing_sms_qlength * 0.8); } else max_queue = (max_outgoing_sms_qlength > 0 ? max_outgoing_sms_qlength : 1000000); However, the documentation states: sms-outgoing-queue-limit number of messages Set maximum size of outgoing message queue. After number of messages has hit this value, Kannel began to discard them. Value -1 default, means that the queue of infinite length is accepted. Variable max_outgoing_sms_qlength gets defined on gw/bearerbox.c line 494: if (cfg_get_integer(&max_outgoing_sms_qlength, grp, octstr_imm("sms-outgoing-queue-limit")) == -1) max_outgoing_sms_qlength = -1; So, assuming I don't define it (gets loaded with -1), the "else" condition would be true and since max_outgoing_sms_qlength < 0, max_queue would be 1000000 right? In other words: is the documentation wrong and -1 means 1000000 instead of infinite? Regards, -- Alejandro Guerrieri aguerri...@kannel.org
