[hylafax-users] if your email notification does not work...



Help yourself with the following:

1) Look at the system log (in Linux this usually is /var/log/messages) for
the line(s) reporting the notification.

For sent faxes it's something like:

FaxQueuer[19442]: NOTIFY: bin/notify "doneq/q27191" "done" "1:13"
FaxQueuer[19442]: NOTIFY exit status: 0 (9601)

For received faxes, it's something like:

FaxGetty[19466]: RECV FAX: bin/faxrcvd "recvq/fax000000592.tif" "ttyS5"
"000038277" ""

If you don't see it, then there's something wrong with your config, or maybe
you actually didn't send/receive a fax.

2) You see the above lines but you don't get email, you get broken email, or
similar, do the following:

as root, go into the HylaFAX spool dir, ie:
# cd /var/spool/hylafax

then execute the command line you read above adding "sh -x" at the
beginning:

# sh -x bin/notify "doneq/q27191" "done" "1:13"
or
# sh -x bin/notify "doneq/q27191" "done" "1:13" > /tmp/mylog 2>&1
# less /tmp/mylog

# sh -x bin/faxrcvd "recvq/fax000000592.tif" "ttyS5" "000038277" ""

Usually you'll see everything necessary to debug your problem; if this is
not the case then try posting the output to the list.

In HylaFAX versions older than 4.2.1 bin/notify was a wrapper for an awk
script, in that case you won't see much.
