Hi Milan,
I did submit a patch a while ago to use relative instead of absolute time,
but was rejected, since a lot of SMScs do not support relative time, only
absolute.
2 solutions to this: Calculate the remote time from the application and use
this validity for kannel (may not always work if timezone time is less than
localtime), or make it configurable, provided that the SMSc supports
relative time.
BR,
Nikos

Well, the validity parameter is another issue with me, since my
application
server is on different timezone, and kannel sends absolute timestamp
(2011-05-12 13:01:01) as validity parameter instead of relative timestamp
(expiry time = current/submission time+60 secs). I don't seem to find the
resolution of it as well, so I have stopped using the validity period
thing.
Any resolution to this?
I looked in smsc_smpp.c and it does not seems that it is to complicated
to change it to use relative instead of absolute time. But I cannot test
it because I do not have any environment where I could play with it.
