[hylafax-users] Fine tuning retry delay and numder of times to redial

["Luigi Carrieri" <l.carrieri@xxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
I use Hylafax 4.3.1 with Mainpine Rockforce Octo+ fax board.
Actually Hylafax tries 12 times to resend outgoing faxes when
an error occurs (e.g busy signal, no answer, etc.) with a delay
of 5 minutes between retries. 
I want to fine tune this hylafax behavior and so I put the following
parameters in each config.ttySx modem configuration file (located
in <hylafax-home>/var/spool/etc) as suggested by hylafax-config manual:

# The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose
# dialing attempt failed with a BUSY status result.
JobReqBusy:       180

# The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose
# dialing attempt failed with a NO ANSWER status result.
JobReqNoAnswer:   180

# The delay in seconds to wait before retrying a job whose
# dialing attempt failed with a NO CARRIER status result.
JobReqNoCarrier:  180

# The number of times to redial a phone number after receiving
# a BUSY result code when the number has not been successfully dialed
before.
JobRetryBusy:     20

# The number of times to redial a phone number after the dialing
# attempt failed because of NO ANSWER when the number has not been
successfully dialed before.
JobRetryNoAnswer: 10

# The number of times to redial a phone number after the dialing
# attempt failed because of NO CARRIER when the number has not been
successfully dialed before.
JobRetryNoCarrier:10

# If a ring is heard and the call is not answered, the time in ms
# to wait before reinitializing the modem for the next call.
RingTimeout:      15000

Unfortunately Hylafax seems to ignore this configuration and 
keeps on trying 12 times to send a fax before giving up.
What's wrong? Did I miss anything else?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Luigi
