Hi Diego
So what I did was to add a predefined text to the silent service to make sure that the request is actually routing to the correct service. Surprisingly the request didn’t return the predefined text meaning that it went to the other service instead returning the <Empty reply from service provider> message. Why is that happening? Is it due to the default service keywords on the two services? I would assume that the allowed-receiver-prefix would take precedence in the service routing scheme and force the request to go to the silent service.

Have you tryed: omit-empty = true max-messages = 0 at bouth servicies? Just in the case you are using the other one, because the use the same get-url. Or change the url in one of them.

I have a number of services in my Kannel conf file, two of which I'm considering. Now one of them accepts from all shortcodes and the other is specific to a particular shortcode. On that service I do not want Kannel to pull responses to requests. The configurations for the two services are listed below: group = sms-service keyword = default catch-all = true get-url = "HYPERLINK "http://server:port/processor?keyword=%25k&from=%25p&text=%25r&time=%25t&to= %25P&smsc=%25i&msg=%25a" \n http://server:port/processor?keyword=%k&from=%p&text=%r&time=%t&to=%P&smsc=% i&msg=%a" ## Silent Shortcodes -- Kannel should not pull responses to messages sent to these numbers group = sms-service keyword = default catch-all = true get-url = "HYPERLINK "http://server:port/processor?keyword=%25k&from=%25p&text=%25r&time=%25t&to= %25P&smsc=%25i&msg=%25a" \n http://server:port/processor?keyword=%k&from=%p&text=%r&time=%t&to=%P&smsc=% i&msg=%a" omit-empty = true max-messages = 0 allowed-receiver-prefix = "xxx" I have set the omit-empty parameter on the silent service to true such that the Kannel will not pull any < Empty reply from service provider> responses for requests sent to this shortcode. I have also set max-messages parameter to 0 to make sure that no responses are pulled for requests sent to this service. The allowed-receiver-prefix dictates how the service routing is done. Now I have set up a page that produces an empty page to test. When I send requests to the silent service [for which kannel should not pull any responses], I ironically get the <Empty reply from service provider> response. I would have thought that the omit-empty and max-messages will definitely ensure that absolutely no responses are sent back to the user. 1. I have to ask a question though: the kannel documentation states that max-messages parameter works only when the response is not an error message in which case Kannel ignores the parameter setting and pulls a response to the user. If that is the case it would then mean that the <Empty reply from service provider> is an error message and so Kannel pulls the response to the user. Is this the case? 2. Is there a hierarchy in the message pull parameter usage such that one of the parameters can override the other i.e. when both omit-empty and max-messages are set and the response is <Empty reply from service provider>, then max-messages overrides omit-empty and pulls a response to the user because it interprets <Empty reply from service provider> as an error message. How can I set up these services such that absolutely no messages are pulled to the user on the second service? Thanks for all your help.
