[Di Vaio Gianluigi <Gianluigi.divaio@italia.ottobock.de>]

Ciao Nathan,

first of all thanks for the "Mr. Gianluigi" but please use only Gianluigi I'm only 25 years old... so you can be informal :o)

 

I have used HP LaserJet IID PostScript Cartridge v52.2 driver, use this one (I have tryed to use HP 5M/5MP but without success!), also I have configured my modem (U.S. Robotics 56k Faxmodem) to use the 1.0 protocol for better compatibility for old fax machine (but probably this its not important for new version of Hylafax, I have used the 4.1.1...).

 

Please can you explain me better what have you done on /usr/local/smbfax script, also can you describe me your Hylafax implementation (hardware/software/environment).

 

Good luck!

Gianluigi Di Vaio

Mr. Gianluigi,

        Thank you very much for the response.  I was actually able to make this part work by editing the /usr/local/smbfax script, and changing the sub mail_user (split the variable into 2 variables at the "+").  Now, I'm having a different problem.  I'm able to print to the fax (smb print share), the user gets the e-mail (without creating a user account for them on the Linux box, their authenticating via winbind), and they can send the fax.  The only problem is, the fax ends up being about 42 pages (it's actually only a 1 or 2 page fax).  I've tried it with the "Generic / Text Printer" driver, and with the "HP LaserJet III" driver, and with the HP 5M / 5MP Postscript driver (that's the one that I'm using on another smb printer share that we're using to create .pdf's).

Thanks for your help, and congrat's on getting yours going!!

I'm happy to help you! My fax server its up and running from 1 months!

 First of all add this line (as suggested me by Pedro Fraile) to the
function 'file_owner', at the bottom of
/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/fax/smbfax-html.pl, to change the user name to
uppercase. My version reads like this:

sub file_owner {

   my $file = shift;

   my @statent = stat($file) or return undef;
   my @pwent = getpwuid($statent[4]);
   # Put username in uppercase
   $pwent[0] =~ tr/[a-z]ñ/[A-Z]Ñ/;
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   return $pwent[0];
}

In /etc/aliases you must insert:

DOMAIN+User1: User1@domain.com

Please let me know if you solve the problem...
Regards,
Gianluigi Di Vaio

I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but I believe that I may be having a
similar problem, and thought possibly we could assist each other.  I have a
similar setup (NT Domain, Hylafax / smbfax fax server), that appears to be
working except when it tries to send the confirmation e-mail, it's sending
it to "DOMAIN+username@domain.com", rather than simply
"username@domain.com".  I've added the appropriate entries in /etc/aliases,
but to no avail.
