Re: [hylafax-users] Routing received faxes

Title: Message

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to get this working also, although not on quite as large a scale.  From looking at the faxrcvd man page it looks like you can route the message to someone based on the sending fax machine's phone number.

 

I tried it unsuccessfully, but the man page says to you must match any embedded white space, which I think is what's causing the problem (hopefully that's all it is).

 

When I get the received fax notification in the faxmaster's email the sender phone number just says 61738012210.  How can I tell whether and where any white space is embedded?

 

Thanks in anticipation,

Geoff

Hi All

 

I read and still don't understand. Can I use an example...

 

As a company we have 2000 users that will use their system for sending and receiving  faxes. They would all give one Fax Number to their customers. Now my problem is when these customers starts faxing back. Who gets what.

 

I know other faxing software uses unique numbers for example 0867 000001 which would then be linked to an alias for a specific user name user@xxxxxxxxxxx in a Global database and forward the message to that specific user.

 

For this I would have to apply for a pool of numbers from my Telco and they would forward all incoming calls matching this pool to one central exchange...

 

 

 

I think this is how it works

See 'man faxrcvd'.

 

The decision is made based on something like receiving device, Caller

ID, TSI, DID, SUB, etc.
