flexfax: Problems sending Postscript with faxmail

[Ralf Graefe <ralf.graefe@ecrc.de>]

Hi there,

ref.: Hylafax v 4.0pl2 On Linux kernel 2.0.33
I want to EMail a Perl generated Postscript file with sendmail using
faxmail. I already printed it and also send it with sendfax without
problems so the Postscript code should be ok.

I also can send several other Postscript files with faxmail without
problems. For sending I used the Perl MIME-tools and the Netscape
Communicator mail client as well. In the source of faxmail I saw that it
only looks for the MIME-type that was equally set correctly in ALL
tests.

So what is actually happening?:

First I see the following message in /var/log/messages:

Jul  8 10:10:59 wintermute FaxQueuer[2876]: NOTIFY: bin/notify
"doneq/q72" "no_formatter" "" 



In the path /var/spool/fax/doneq I then have a file containing the
following error messages:


commid:

0x816954c: 0x02 dict --Lwrx--- 0x0000 0x0816e590\                

Finally in the path /var/spool/fax/docq the corresponding file contains
my originally Postscript code wrapt in more Postscript. (By the way,
which tool generates those files anyway).

So what is wrong here?

Cheers Ralf!
