The priority flag is part of the SMPP specs and gets set using the "priority" parameter. I agree with you, I don't think that any SMSC would base his internal priority queue on my behalf.
What I didn't find (yet, at least) is any actions being take by kannel in spite of the priority setting. I mean, I see it's being passed on the SMPP PDU, but I don't see any actions being take on kannel's internal queueing. Under this scenario, if I have thousands of messages queued on the store file, setting higher priority to a new message won't make any difference. Am I correct here or am I missing something?
