Hello,

TL;DR What happens internally when I put directly a text message in the queue? How can I control sorting of sending messages?

In my tests I figured out that messages coming from "sendsms" script to "outgoing" directory were passed as they are through final queue directories. So I started to put messages directly on the queue directories. It then started to have unexpected behaviors, the log file reported "SMS sent" but no messages where sending, but when I rolled back to the original way everything works OK again.

Then I used the correct way of setting the "Queue: " header and this works OK as well and I see the messages going through outgoing and then to the correctly queue. So this is the origin of my question about why it doesn't work when I place the messages directly on queue directories.

Originally I tried to place text messages to queue directory in order to control the sorting of the messages, how can I achieve this with the correct way? I have an unexpected behavior of unsorted processed messages, this is my smsd.conf:
devices = GSM* 1-4
logfile = /var/log/smsd/smsd.log
loglevel = 7
user = smstools
smart_logging = yes
infofile = /run/smsd/smsd.working
pidfile = /run/smsd/smsd.pid
report = /var/spool/sms/report
stats =  /var/spool/sms/stats
failed = /var/spool/sms/failed
phonecalls = /var/spool/sms/calls
delaytime_mainprocess = 2
eventhandler = /soft/ZENTEK/app/smsbackend/eventhandler.sh
trust_outgoing = yes
spool_directory_order = yes # I suggested this parameter could help

[GSM1]
init=AT+CPMS="ME";+CNMI=1,2,0,1,0
baudrate = 115200
report = yes
primary_memory = SM
secondary_memory = SR
device = /dev/ttyUSB12
incoming = yes
report_device_details = yes
signal_quality_ber_ignore = yes
hangup_incoming_call = yes

If the log file reports "SMS sent", SMS is sent. There is a problem elsewhere.

Message files can be placed directly to queue directories, if necessary. However, care should be taken when creating files. Spool directories are trusted by default. When smsd can see the file, it must be complete and closed. There is no delay to check if the file still grows.

You could create a file into the spool or outgoing directory using the extension .LOCK, write and close the file and rename the .LOCK extension away. Alternatively the name can begin with LOCKED, or a dot. Smsd ignores these files as they are not complete.

Hello Keke, that makes sense, and I see that actually smsd does this when handling files, I'll use the normal way of sending to outgoing diretory with the  Queue:  header.

Thank you so much for your support and maintenance of this awesome project

Just for finishing the thread, is there a way of sorting the messages when processed by smsd?, I'm having events where the first send message is not the first processed message

Messages are sorted by default. In some systems with very large amount of messages this may take too much time, and also is not necessary. Therefore a global setting spool_directory_order is available. Remove this setting from your configuration and check how much spooling slows down when sorting is done and you have large amount of messages.
