Hello Marco,

did you find this in your setup.cache?
My version of setup.cache has MIMENCODE='/usr/bin/base64-encode'.

In my version of "faxrcvd" I found this function:

encode()
{
   if [ -x "$MIMENCODE" ]; then
       $MIMENCODE < $1 2>$ERRORSTO
   elif [ -x "$UUENCODE" ]; then
       if [ "$ENCODING" = "base64" ]; then
           $UUENCODE -m $1 $1 | grep -E -v "^begin|^====$" 2>$ERRORSTO
       else
           $UUENCODE $1 $1 | grep -E -v "^begin|^====$" 2>$ERRORSTO
       fi
   else
       # Do not use "-x" for backward compatibility; even if it fails
       # this is last chance to encode data, so there's nothing to  
lose.
       $MIMENCODE < $1 2>$ERRORSTO
   fi
}

With your settings this function would check if "base64-encode" is  
executable and use this on success. This probably fails unless it finds  
a copy of "base64-encode" in the current directory.
Then it would check if "$UUENCODE" is executable and use this without  
'-m' on success. (Check this variable.)
If both checks fail it tries to execute $MIMENCODE. This will work if  
you have "base64-encode" in your search path.

This man page is not relevant if you use 'base64-encode'.

Sorry, I did not understand which file you placed in /var/spool/ 
hylafax/bin. mimencode? uuencode?

Which OS or Linux distribution do you use.
I use Debian, so I cannot tell which packages contain a specific  
program for other distributions or OSs.

Check if you have "base64-encode" or "mimencode" on your system.
If not, find the corresponding package and install it.
Write the absolute path of the program you found into "setup.cache" as  
value of MIMENCODE.
(Both programs should create the same base64-encoding.)

I think you should use base64-encoding unless you have a meiler that  
requires uuencoded attachments.
