In the FaxAccounting script the 14th parameter will be empty when the 
2nd parameter is "SEND".  If you refer to this FaxAccounting script here:

http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/misc/FaxAccounting

So ...

if [ "$ENTRYTYPE" -eq "SEND" ] && [ -z "$REASON" ]; then
 # This is a FaxAccounting call for a successfully sent fax.
fi

FaxAccounting really has no direct knowlege of job failure.  It knows if 
a call succeeds or fails, but it doesn't know if the whole job fails due 
to number of dials/tries, etc.

Yes, you could parse the sendq/doneq file for more accurate information, 
however, there are configurations that could make reading of the 
sendq/doneq file inaccurate as well.

I think that you could use AuditHook for auditing actual queue behavior, 
if that's what you're after.

Thanks,

Lee.
