[hylafax-users] sendfax and dialrules

[Bruce McAlister <bruce.mcalister@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am having a little problem with sendfax and dial rules, basically, it
appears that sendfax is not applying the dialrules to a submitted fax.

I need to ensure that any number submitted to the fax queue ends up
having a DialString of the form:

${IDPrefix}${CountryCode}${AreaCode}<number>.

I have checked the man pages and read through the newsgroup for info,
and have managed to come up with a relatively decent dialrules file that
seems to work for all instances that I have tested with. The
modifications are as follows:

DialString := [
[-${WS}.]+              =
\(                      =
\)                      =
[abcABC]                = 2
[defDEF]                = 3
[ghiGHI]                = 4
[jklJKL]                = 5
[mnoMNO]                = 6
[prsPRS]                = 7
[tuvTUV]                = 8
[wxyWXY]                = 9
^00                     = +
^[1-9][0-9]{6}$         = ${Area}&
^0                      =
^[1-9]                  = ${IDPrefix}${Country}&
^\+                     = ${IDPrefix}
]

I then put the dialrules into place, and attempt to submit a fax to the
queue, with the expectation of sendfax parsing dialrules and modifying
the dialstring to what I am expecting.

For example, assuming a number of 1112222, running

dialtest -a 01 -c 353 -i 00 -l 0 ./dialrules

and testing it with 1112222, I get the following:

./dialrules: line 70: ]

dial-string = "0035311112222"
display = "1112222"
ready>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which is exactly what I am expecting. I assume the "dial-string"
parameter is what is passed over to ATDT as it's dial string.

However, this does not work for me, if I then submit a fax like this:

sendfax -n -T 3 -d 1112222 /etc/hosts

The modem attempts to dial 1112222 and not 0035311112222?!

Is there something I am missing, my <spool_dir>/etc/config looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
LogFacility:            daemon
CountryCode:            353
AreaCode:               01
LongDistancePrefix:     0
InternationalPrefix:    00
DialStringRules:        "etc/dialrules"
ServerTracing:          1
MaxConcurrentCalls:     6
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have I missed something somewhere, is this normal behaviour for sendfax?
 How would I make sendfax apply the dialrules to user submitted fax? Is
that possible?

I am running HylaFAX+ 5.1.8, with IAXModem 0.3.2.

Thanks
Bruce
