Re: [hylafax-users] Faxes sent to other users (catastrophically not good)

Chris,

That's _precisely_ what happens in bug 445. It will be fixed in 4.1.9 and
4.2.0. It's presently fixed in 4.2.0rc1.

If you use the RPM distribution, you can see from the changelog that I
started including the patch from the 4.1.7-2 RPM onward:

* Fri Oct 10 2003 Darren Nickerson <darren.nickerson@xxxxxxxx> 4.1.7-2
  - [Bug 443] Expand & unify sequence namespace (iFAX Solutions)
  - [Bug 445] Corrected a long-standing problem that would leave old image
     files in docq/ causing them to be sent again many months later in
     place of the new image file (iFAX Solutions)
  - [Bug 454] Faxgetty could hear more than 1 ring at once, doubling
     things like CIDNAME and CIDNUMBER, and breaking inbound fax
     routing (iFAX Solutions)
  - [Bug 424] Updated, slightly cleaner patch. Functionally identical.


This would have happened even if faxqclean had been running regularly,
incidentally.

Hope that helps!

-Darren
