Hello Paolo, with 1.4.3 i've had the problem before, that if you used the default-smsc directive in sendsms, the problem you describe happens. I've chosen another route for fallback configuration.
- Use a not existing smsc id in your smsbox config for routing purposes, and force sending to it: group = sendsms-user username = XXXX password = YYYY user-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*" user-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1" max-messages = 1 concatenation = true forced-smsc = ROUTING - then define your primary and backup smsc id's like this: group = smsc smsc-id = PRIMARY preferred-smsc-id = ROUTING allowed-smsc-id = ROUTING denied-smsc-id = SECONDARY [...] group = smsc smsc-id = SECONDARY allowed-smsc-id = ROUTING denied-smsc-id = PRIMARY [...] Monday, April 4, 2011, 4:08:50 PM, you wrote: PC> Hi, I'm using Kannel 1.4.3 in a RHEL 4.4 system.
