flexfax: infos about sent faxes?

[frank@gondor.nikoma.de]

Hi there!

I'm writing a client program that needs to request
status information (like send status, server dial string and
such) from a Hylafax server to see if a fax has been
successfully sent, even if the fax was submitted three weeks 
ago. This information is saved in the 'doneq' directory, but 
its contents get deleted periodically, together with the according
postscript or tiff files.
The problem is that I only need the status information, but
not the faxes themselves because their total size could in-
crease to gigs of unused data if they aren't deleted. The status 
information I need is saved in etc/xferlog, which cannot be
accessed from a client program.

So here is my question:
Is it possible to keep the status information on the server
accessible to all (which is not a security problem because
you can see status infos about others' faxes when they were
just sent), but to delete the faxes themselves automatically?
(maybe this requires a change in faxcron?)

A better solution would be a mechanism to find out if a fax
was successfully sent without changing the server's configuration
- probably someone knows a way to do this??

thanks in advance,

Frank
