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

["Andrew Xenides" <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary

I had the exact same problem last week. Somehow my notify script became
owned by root (probably from editing it and making backups etc) 

Change it back to the same as the other bin files and you should be fine.
Also make sures its chmodded as 755
