Re: [hylafax-users] No sending Fax-to-Mail

[Bryan Roberts <broberts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In postfix, the parameter is called relayhost, but I am not as familiar with sendmail.

From a quick google search:

If your unix host has to use a mail relay to get out, the simplest, usually enough, method is to define the DS (smart relay) macro in sendmail.cf. You should have a line with
DS
change it in
DSmailrelay.domain
where mailrelay.domain is the FQDN of your mail relay as seen from your side.
The stop/start sendmail to let it reread the config file.

The mail relay that this refers to is the SMTP server at your ISP.  This will force sendmail to send ALL outbound external email through your ISP's SMTP server.  Hope this helps.

Hi !

I have similar problem. I found from the "maillog" ===> "Connection timed out with d.mx.mail.yahoo.com" and similar "time outs" for other email address. I have already disabled the firewall. As I know, My ISP disabled all connection to SMTP servers except their own. So, when set-up outlook to send mail, I cannot use the SMTP from the hosting company.

What should I do ? I guess I have to do something with "sendmail", but I cannot find anything from those information on the web. Maybe the problem is my level is not enough to understand. I am newbie to HylaFAX & Linux. I am running HylaFAX 4.4.4 on CentOS 3.9

Thank you !!!

Depending on your OS, you should see an entry in /var/log/maillog or the equivalent of the fax getting sent to sendmail. Their should also be an error message from when it tries to send it to gmail. If its getting to sendmail, then you need to look at allowing that traffic.

Use the SENDMAIL='/usr/sbin/sendmail'...

"You might want to grep your syslog for the 'faxrcvd' command that HylaFAX
is running, cd to /var/spool/hylafax and try running that command yourself,
so see if it executes without error."
    
I like this?

    
I have identical installation on another network and then works 100%

Hello, guys.

I`ve created the FaxDispatch file in /var/spool/hylafax/etc with the
following text:
FILETYPE=tif;
SENDTO=my@xxxxxxxxx

but I`m not receiving the e-mails concerning to the fax.
Must I open some port in firewall?

If it is within a network and has to go through a gateway, must I do
some redirect  in the gateway?

Is there some log file that I can view if hylafax have tried sending
the e-mail or if some error have occurred?

      

 What is the output of 'mailq' on your machine? Does your mail log show a
mail message being queued by HylaFAX?

 You might want to grep your syslog for the 'faxrcvd' command that HylaFAX
is running, cd to /var/spool/hylafax and try running that command yourself,
so see if it executes without error.
