Faxmail and Gateway problems



I am having some difficulty in setting up the mailfax example script
included in the package.  I can successfully submit a mail message to
the fax server, but every time I do I get an error message:

 " ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
hughcaley@92671500.FAX

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
request id is 120 (group id 120) for host localhost (1 file)
554 hughcaley@92671500.FAX... unknown mailer error 139"

and yet the fax does go through.

Here is my sendmail setup relative to Hylafax.  Note that the two
undefines ($1 and $2) are reversed from the example script; leaving them
in the normal order had the Hylafax server attempting to dial the user's
name as a telephone number!

#handle hylafax addresses
R$+<@$+.FAX>      $#fax $@ $1 $: $2      user@host.FAX

and

Mfax,  P=/usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax, F=DFMShu,
  M=1000000,
  A=mailfax $u $h $f

My other problem is that if I include a postscript attachment to the
file it will come out very odd.  For example, I might attach the
tiger.ps example file that comes with Ghostscript; it is a large tiger's
head on a grey background.  The grey background comes out all right, but
the tigers head is a tiny shrunken image in the lower left corner of the
page.

I am using Linux 2.1.24 on a PowerMac 8500, Hylafax vesion is 4.0pl1,
ghostscript is version 5.03, sendmail is version 8.8.4.
