RE: flexfax: Incoming fax send as mail

[Thomas Nilsen <Thomas.Nilsen@Kverneland.com>]

Noel,

Thanks for the script!

I've installed your scripts, but I am not able to get them to work properly.
All I get is an empty mail message from uucp.

As far as I can see the problem is in the faxrcvd-mail script. I'm not sure
if it kicks of as expected? Version running is...

Perl 5.005_03
Hylafax 4.1beta1-rh6 

Are there any special options I need to configure on the system before I use
the script maybe?

Regards, Thomas

I rewrote faxrcvd to call a perl script faxrcvd-mail.  faxrcvd-mail
uses mimencode to encode the fax as base64.  I'll attach my two
scripts below faxrcvd and faxrcvd-mail.  I hope they help.  I have
been using them on a redhat-6.0 box.
