I'm trying to figure out why conversion
from pdf to ps doesn't work. Here's my assumptions on how it's supposed
to work, so please correct me if I've misunderstood anything...
Following the instructions for a qmail
email gateway, I use recommended script which contains (among others):
If I understand this correctly, faxmail
will remove most mail headers from the message (keeping from, to, subject
etc.) and convert all mime attachments. The output from faxmail will then
be processed by sendfax which will convert the text and pdf file to postscript.
From what I've been able to figure out, a pdf conversion filter is builtin
with Hylafax 4.2 versions unless some other filter is specified in typerules.
When using my gateway now, the pdf conversion
seems to fail. I only get a single page containing the from/to/subject/date
part from the email, and the log contains:
lastSendFailure:"Communication
failure during Phase B/C"
According to a few articles I've found,
since the first page is transmitted just fine, this indicates a local configuration
error, not a comm. problem.
Now, how can I figure out why the pdf
conversion fails? I cannot find anything regarding the conversion filter
in the logs.
