Re: [hylafax-users] More info :Re: no cover sheet



John, I'm using Fedora 7 on a white box so our systems are different. I don't think I have anything to add here -- Dave

From the friendly `man faxmail`:

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS faxmail reads configuration information from the files /usr/local/lib/fax/hyla.conf, /usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail.conf, and ~/.hylarc; in that order.

        The configuration parameters are explained below.  Most parameters
cor- respond to a command line option.  Parameter values identified above
as inches are converted according to the conventions described above.

        AutoCoverPage  Control whether or not a  cover  page  is
automatically generated for each job.

I'd try adding

AutoCoverPage: No

to faxmail.conf per above.  There may be an issue as to whether it runs in
the chroot or not. It won't hurt to create the
usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail.conf in the chroot in addition to to /usr ....
just in case.  My chroot does not have a usr/ ...., anyway.

Thanks Dave,

I do have hyla.conf.  I have added 'AutoCoverPage:No'  at the bottom.  I still
get a coversheet containing the following:

At the very top (in a very small font) I get:
From Dean Services
the day and date
and page 1 of 2.

I believe the above comes from config.ttyS2 file which
contains "LocalIdentifiers"

Then I get (in a much larger font)
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
DATE:

That is the end of the first sheet.

The next sheet is my attachment (a PS file) from my email.

From faxmail(man)
Controls for specifying headers to be passed through in the formatted text
identify not only which headers but also the order in which the headers
should be emitted. faxmail initializes the set of headers to retain to:
''To From Subject Cc Date''. If this order is acceptable then additional
headers can simply be added with the X-FAX-Headers directive; e.g.
''X-FAX-Headers: Message-id''. If however a different order is desired then
the header set should be cleared with a ''clear'' header tag and then
completely specified in the desired order; for example, ..

all header lines in the envelope can be suppressed by specifying
''X-FAX-Headers: clear''; this is useful, for example, when the body of the
mail message contains a preformatted document that is to be transmitted.


So I added ''X-FAX-Headers: clear'' to hyla.conf

But I still get the
TO:, FROM:, etc. and more importantly I get two sheets of paper.

BTW I can't find "sendfax" being used anywhere. I do see in my master.cf
fax unix - n n - - pipe
flags= user=faxmail argv=/usr/local/bin/faxmail.sh ${user}


in faxmail.sh
cat > /tmp/faxmail-$$.msg
exec /usr/local/bin/faxmail-ifax -n "$@" < /tmp/faxmail-$$.msg

My guess "faxmail-ifax" is the real "faxmail"


Also of interest my "hyla.conf" is in "/etc/hylafax"
I'm using SUSE 10.2

I can't seem to get rid of the first page. What do I do next? I need help!
