The kannel.conf is not created by compile & make. You have to create it manually. I have created a sample above, but you will need some details from your SMS provider to get the config correct for your environment. If you have access to a SMPP SMSC the config should work (of course providing a proper username, IP address, etc). If you're not using SMPP you will need a different config, and it might be a little tricky to get working. Many SMS providers are familiar with Kannel though, so they might be able to help you out with the settings needed. Not sure I get what your issue is Akash.

Of course - it's great that there are people testing the more demanding scenarios as well :) I would assume that setting up a dedicated Kannel box on something *nix-based would scale better for a load like that. 30.000 messages is certainly a slightly more demanding environment than my test setup :)

I've done quite a bit of work with Kannel running under Cygwin on Windows (both W7 and Server 2003) in recent weeks. When subjecting Kannel to 30,000 messages Cygwin will just crash. Both the Bearer Box and the SMS Box services have to be restarted. The Kannel user-group have confirmed that Cygwin's p-threads are the issue. But as a test environment Kannel under Cygwin is great.

Hopefully this fix would apply to your installation as well: You need to edit a file – gateway-1.4.1\gwlib\thread.c Comment out the following lines: if (mutex->owner == gwthread_self()) panic(0, “%s:%ld: %s: Managed to lock the mutex twice! (Called from %s:%ld:%s.)”, \ __FILE__, (long) __LINE__, __func__, file, (long) line, func); And you'll have to re-compile too. I've only seen this on Windows XP, not on Windows Server so it might be something related to the OS as well. Yup, there is a bug in Kannel.

I believe there is an add-on module for Kannel - smppbox so you can run your own gateway. Not sure if it costs money or it's also free. But obviously it would still require some work getting "direct access" to the mobile operators network for sending the stuff through :) (So might have to wait a little while for this post to surface.) But I will be exploring some scenarios, and will probably post more articles as to what can be done with this Kannel box :) Thank you Wayne.
