Got this in my smsgw.ini under [SMSGW]:
RetryDelay=30
RetryDelayMultiplier=0
RetryDelayAfterAttempts=1
RetryMaxAttempts=1

But if one of my HTTP connections returns an error nowsms keeps on trying to send the message throught.
I got a call this morning from a gateway saying they had received 60.000 request from me during the weekend.
I thought that nowsms would read the "RetryMaxAttempts" and only send a message out x number of times before giving up.

Am i missing something ?

The timing interval between the retries is:
00:00:02:671
00:00:19:468
00:00:31:421
00:00:44:250
00:00:56:687
00:01:07:843
Looks to me somthing like 12 secs.

Cross-reference: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/12885.html

There are a few error codes for which the retry behaviour for HTTP SMSC submissions is too agressive. In particular, if the web server returns a 500 "Internal Server Error" response, the retries are very aggressive. For more details, see the link referenced above.
