[hylafax-users] Email to fax with PDF attachment not working

["George H" <george.dma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Using hylafax v4.3.2 on  Gentoo Linux box.
I can successfully send emails to hylafax and it will send it to my
fax machine. It works with Postscript attachments, but doesn't seem to
work with PDFs.

The fax always comes out with "DISCARDED application/pdf GOES HERE"

I read the "Email to Fax Gateway" doc and followed the instructions.
I added the line "MIMEConverters: /var/spool/fax/mimetype"  to my
/usr/lib/fax/hfaxd.conf file

I created the directory structure
/var/spool/fax/mimetype/
/var/spool/fax/mimetype/application
/var/spool/fax/mimetype/application/pdf
/var/spool/fax/mimetype/application/ps
/var/spool/fax/mimetype/image
/var/spool/fax/mimetype/image/tiff

I chown uucp:uucp it all like all the other dirs.
I make sure the converter programs exist in /var/spool/fax/bin   they
do and have proper executable permissions.

I also checked the file  /usr/lib/fax/typerules and tried one of both
options (of course not at the same time)
0   string   %PDF   pdf
0   string    %PDF  pdf    pdf2ps %i %o

With all this, PDF attachments still won't work.
Does anyone have any ideas ?

Regards
