Hi,
DLRs are biding proof of receipt of an SMS. It is generated from the SIM of the
destination phone and propagated throughout the chain to reach you. That's what
you need to bill your customer.
As Jovan mentioned, kannel can process DLRs in memory or using an external DB.
This is just for internal processing by kannel and are deleted after SMS
delivery or failure. External DB is slower, but preserves DLRs during a server
crash, and are necessary if you load balance among various bearerboxes. DLRs
are recorded permanenetly in access logs. Kannel gives the option of an
additional HTTP API to store them permanently into an externally defined
storage. That's what dlr-url does for you. Upon receipt of a DLR kannel will
call the dlr-url if defined. Mind you it is your responsibility to provide the
external webserver and database for the storage.
You can define default dlr-url in group sendsms-user (read user guide). Or you
can give it directly in the push URL (must be urlencoded).
There are various types of DLRs you can request from the SMSc, i.e. SMS
buffered, SMS accepted by SMSc, etc. dlr-mask specifies which of these reports
you want. To get all use 63 - in latest CVS. You can give dlr-mask only in the
push url of each message. You should read User's guide to learn about the
different DLR types and how are defined in dlr-mask.
Hope this helps,
Happy New Year,
Nikos

Subject: Re: MySql Script for kannel for storing response from SMPP
Hi
I have the same problem as Kiran. I do not understand where to set the
dlr-url and dlr-mask and what are the formats of these parameters. I could not
understand from the documentation.
Also, from Debian (without gnome/kde or similar how do I access a URL
such as:
>
http://192.168.1.93:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=kiran&password=kiran&to=919036971573&text=This+is+testfor
> priority and message response&dlr-mask=31&priority=3
Where would you use such url?
Thanks,
Naryam

The dlr table is a temporary table used by Kannel to store dlr data
for the message for which it hasn't received delivery status.
If you want to check the DRL statuses, you should define dlr-url and
dlr-mask for the messages that you are sending.

The correct configuration for the dlr table which you have created is:
#---- DLR table structure
group = dlr-db
id = mydlr
table = dlr
field-smsc = smsc
field-timestamp = ts
field-destination = destination
field-source = source
field-service = service
field-url = url
field-mask = mask
field-status = status
field-boxc-id = boxc

> priority and message response&dlr-mask=31&priority=3
The dlr-url is missing in the request.
This url is called when kannel receives the message status. Set the
parameters of the dlr-url which you are interested in
and set some messageid. Check the userguide for details ;)
