Logically, kannel works in 2 steps. First it receives the SMS, sends the ACK to SMSC and closes the session. Afterwards, it tries to route the SMS ahead to get-url or something.
get-url failure does NOT get reported to SMSC (it makes no sense actually to do it). If get-url server is down, kannel logs the http status in log files and drops the SMS. Messages are stored in kannel memory if smsbox is not running. You can write advanced code to process the dropped message again.
