[hylafax-users] Disable the "resume" retransmit of faxes

[Jonny Berthiaume <jberthiaume@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I use HylaFAX 4.1.5 on Linux Slackware 8.1.

Here is the situation.

I sent a fax with a total of 5 pages. While transmitting, the 
transmission has been interrupted after the third page, just before 
receiving the confirmation from the client for the good reception of the 
third page. HylaFAX then requeue the fax as it normally would, but the 
"requeued" fax is now only 3 pages. This result is rather ingenius if I 
transmitted only UNIMPORTANT document.

The problem is the faxed document must have all the pages in the same 
order to avoid errors by missing pages. Just think about a medical 
report where you didn't notice the first two pages transmitted 10 
minutes ago! Other faxes would have been printed on top of those and 
they might be forgotten. This situation might lead, in extreme cases, to 
death.

I need to disable this behaviour. I need to always transmit the FULL 
document no matter how many pages has been successfully transmitted 
before. I have made my researches, I found nothing in the man of 
hylafax-config, hylafax-server, faxq, sendfax, neither on forums or 
mailing list archives. How do I disable this behaviour?

Here is a small part of the log where HylaFAX just finished to send the 
third page but did not receive the confirmation from the client fax 
machine. Thus, the fax has been requeued for later transmission.

And here is the part of the log where the first page is sent in the 
"requeued" fax.
