Re: [hylafax-users] FaxNotify Question...

[Rueben Gooch <rueben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lee,
The copier is generating a tiff image and emailing internally.  There very little I can do other than change the resolution, filetype, and destination. It has an internal smtp sender that handles sending files to an email address.  I am then using faxmail with postfix on the hylafax server to handle the incoming fax request. My master.cf file has the following syntax for the faxmail command:
user=fax argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n ${user}

Thanks,
Rueben

Thanks for answering my question! with your answer how do I make that a default for the system.

It would depend upon the client software that you're using.  This setting is usually (almost always) communicated to the server by the client.  So if the user does not specify the setting to the client, then the client will usually just send its default setting.  Any default setting on the server-side (whatever it is) would almost always then be superceded by it.

Maybe if I explain my config it will make better sense.  We are an office equipment dealer and the copiers we sell have the ability to fax and scan to email.  However our customer has severla machine but does not have phone jacks next to each machine.  Our solutionwas to put an Hylafax server on the net and have the machine scan to email and use the hylafax as an email fax gateway.  This has worked perfectly, but now the customer would like fax confirmation on sent faxes.  I thought FaxNotify would accomplish this.  I don't know how to setup the fax server to append the -D switch to outgoing faxes.

What fax client are you using for your email-to-fax process?  sendfax scripted?  faxmail?

Below is a copy of my FAxNotify file, which does not seem to work:

WHY=done

I don't think that you want to set WHY to anything... otherwise you interfere with things.  Normally you'd only use $WHY to perform program-path decisions, etc.

Lee.
