[hylafax-users] E-Mail - Fax / Sending fax problems



Hey all,

 

Having a little bit of an issue with sending faxes / emailing out faxes.

 

I have the “classic” setup specified in sh-postfix going, that is, copying the script to /usr/bin/mailfax, and using the format user@xxxxxxxxxx . It seems like the pipe is working fine, as by checking the postfix logs the mail is successfully sent to the relay:fax.

 

The problem, though, is that even sendfax doesn’t work. It gives me a really weird error amounting to header not found in ?PNG in one of the ghostscript files. I’ve checked and ghostscript and libpng are installed correctly, so I’m not sure what’s going on. This has also happened with .ps and .txt files, so I don’t think it’s a file issue.

 

I have also noticed that postfix has complained occasionally about not being able to write to /var/spool/mail/fax, says it cannot open this file. The file is about 51 MB, not sure if that indicates a problem or not.

 

Specs are:

 

Mandrake 9.0

Hylafax 4.2.0

 

I believe the modem is a Rockwell 8-port, I can check to be sure though. I don’t think it’s hardware related, as inbound service is working just beautifully, the system has never been used for actually sending faxes though so I’m not sure if I’m missing a common setup step here at all.

 

Thanks in advance!
