Title: Re: [hylafax-users] Bulk Faxing

Michael,

You could have your fax ready in .ps format (like capturing the sending of the fax to a test recipient and saving the /tmp/$$.whatever), then write a bash for-loop to go through the flat file of phone numbers and queue/send with “sendfax”.  Barring of how many numbers you need to send to vs. the number of IAXmodem ttys, you could churn through your list at a good rate.  I have done this method several times in the past and works great.

HTH,

Only thing that I can get working or should I say indicating that it is working is the Server Connection light being green.  Communication light is red.  That seems to work if the Asterisk PBX IP address is input.  Other than that, whenever I put anything in the Admin Password or Login/Login Password I get the response from the CLI of:

I presently use the winprint  print device to fax from applications.  Is there a robotic way of  doing this, can a flat file be used as a data source etc.
