Hi, Wilfried Goesgens recommended strongly to use in the SMSbox configuration immediate-sendsms-reply = true when using the latest CVS, to prevent running out of file descriptors.
Have others found this to be true, as otherwise the CVS maintainers userguide should put it in as it will help many people. He also recommended changing the source by removing the config options from cfg.dev, and removing the if conditions from source, and just do what would have been done if its enabled. (there is no else case in any of these if's.)" Is both the immediate-sendsms-reply = true configuration option and the change in the source necessary?

This wasn't that extreme with kannel CVS versions prior to last x-mas. But now, a kannel not configured with that options renders allmost unusable. The scripts feeding kannel block because of kannel not closing the connection. and if you add a timeout in the http connection, smsbox doesn't close the fd. I suggest to remove the config options from cfg.dev, and remove the if conditions from source, and just do what whould have been done if its enabled.
