Actually my test with NS (Notification Server) + SMS-C requires deliver_sm messages from SMS-C service to NS, I am not sure how this would be supported in nowSMS, Would you please let me know how nowSMS tool can be configured for this acknowledgement to NS. Also is it possible to send this response(deliver_sm) to NS immediately after the sms request from NS is received by nowSMS(as that way it would be easier for me to test than if nowSMS sends this deliver_sm message after a delay).

Thanks for your help.

Hi John,

To answer your question, I need to better understand your message/connection flow.

Whether submit_sm or deliver_sm is used generally depends on the direction of the SMPP bind. That is to say, it depends on who initiated the bind.

I am thinking that maybe you are interested in SMPP delivery reports. NowSMS generally does not generate these delivery reports, because it does not deliver the message directly to the ESME.

NowSMS forwards and translates delivery reports, and it also generates non-delivery reports for messages that cannot be routed.

Perhaps we could add an option to generate delivery reports in a specialised scenario, but we would need to understand the message flow of this scenario a lot better.
