I would suggest you use the "default-sender" parameter found in the group "sendsms-user" instead of the "global-sender" parameter in the group "smsbox". The "default-sender" will only be used if you transfer and SMS to the smsbox without an Origination Address (ie connect to kannel's /cgi-bin/sendsms and send an SMS without a "from=..." or X-Kannel-From). If you do set the Origination Address then Kannel will use your specified address. On another note ... Does anyone else but me think that a 20 digit "Short Code" is an oxymoron? See ya... d.c.
