Re: [hylafax-users] Submitting large number of faxes requires hugeamounts of disk space

The PDF was created using PDFlib, combining text and a JPEG image.  The resulting DOC???.ps file is aprox. 28MB.  Submitting 1000 faxes would require 28G of disk space.

The documents in docq, which are no longer needed, are removed by 
faxqclean. Create a cron-job which calls faxqclean every e.g. 15 
minutes, and your problem will hopefully be solved supposing that you 
don't send 1000 faxes at once.
