[hylafax-users] Problems with typerules onHylaFAX 4.2.0-1rh7 under Linux RedHat 7.3

Hi,

I've configured HylaFAX to operate as a mail-to-fax gateway. It is setup
for send only operation as we do not require HylaFax to support incoming
faxes.
Hylafax sends mail files in plain text format correctly to FAX machines.
So the modem config is correct.

I would like to send FAXs from files in html format. I've installed
html2ps on our HylaFax server. I've verified html2ps is working correctly.

However, when I mail an HTML file to the HylaFax server it invokes
textfmt instead of html2ps so the fax is printed as HTML source instead
of HTML.

I appended these lines at the bottom /etc/hylafax/typerules

#
# HTML support
0    string    <!DOCTYPE HTML    ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <!doctype html    ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <HEAD             ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <head             ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <TITLE            ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <title            ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <HTML             ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o
0    string    <html             ps    /usr/local/bin/html2ps %i >%o

If I execute sendfax on the server, it matches the HTML files as an
ascii file and invokes textfmt

sendfax -n -vv -d 31204004139 /tmp/melding1.htm

Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.

.....
rule: offset 0 ascii = -- success (result postscript, rule "%F/textfmt
-B -f Courier-Bold       -Ml=0.4in -p 11 -s %s >%o <%i")
CONVERT "/usr/sbin/textfmt -B -f Courier-Bold   -Ml=0.4in -p 11 -s
default >/tmp//sndfaxD1d0wd </tmp/melding1.htm"

The top of my HTML file looks like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><head><title>Herstelmelding

.....

Please could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

TIA

Shaun
