Hello there!

First of all, I have a setup with smsd and playsms as GUI. Sending and Receiving is working perfect. But everytime when I send a SMS out my provider sends me a Receive Status (in German it's labeled with Empfangsbestätigung). I don't need this Report SMS because it only coasts money and don't have any effect or usefull function for me.

I hope you can help me with deactivating this not very usefull "feature".. btw. here is the Log from my modem sending out a sms

Thanks and best Regards

If we are talking about "status report", smsd does not ask for it by default. If there was not "Report: yes" in the message file, smsd should not ask it. I cannot verify this because the PDU is not shown. You could add a global setting store_sent_pdu = 3, restart smsd and after some message is sent, show the PDU here. You can use Private tag to protect the content, if necessary.

If this "Empfangsbestätigung" is not a "status report", but an ordinary received SMS, I do not know how to disable it. You could also show a received SMS file which contains this kind of a message.

I now recognized that the information of my college was false. I habe this dilvery SMS on the invoice, but I don't get this reports als regular SMS.

Any Ideas why my system requests this reports?

btw. I sorry for the false information in my first post. My College gaves me this info, and I only checked the log and configs

Check the file /var/spool/sms/sent/out.0.1.1001, is there a header "Report: yes"? If there is, it's the reason. But usually status reports are free of charge.

Okay you are right.. there is report = yes

But I have report = no in my /etc/smsd.conf (see in my first post). I will now recheck the config of smsd and the config of playsms, as I done several times bevor.

btw. I have a special account where status reports are not free of charge.

thx for you help

It's a default value, and header in SMS file will override it.

If you want to completely disable reporting, meaning that no any user can request reports, you need to create a checkhandler which checks that header and removes it. Or changes it always to "no", like:
