Not entirely related, but I might as well mention it..
I hope the developers can add some kind of logics to supress queued SMS messages in the alert queue after restarting smsd after a crash. We've had situations where smsd has pushed out 100-200 SMS messages after a restart, often more than 20 messages to one mobile phone.
Are there any modifications planned to maybe supress queued up SMS messages after a crash?
Best regards,

We have used the jabber dispatcher since december. We soon discovered that our XMPP-server implementation (Openfire) sometimes freeze. It does not crash completely, but takes forever to answer connections. When this freeze happens and NAV tries to send an alert via jabber, the whole alertqueue clogs up and no alerts gets sent at all - no email, no sms, nothing. When the jabber-daemon is restarted all the backed up alerts are sent right away.
(This of course happened during the holidays and we have disabled the jabber dispatcher ever since.)
Is it possible to add a timeout or something to jabber_dispatcher.py to prevent this to happen?
