Yes, the log shows that bin/notify ran successfully with a result of 0. 
But the script itself does not do any notification unless there is an 
error or the -R or -D options are present.  You may be interested in the

second paragraph of this:

Hmm, I don't get it. I looked at the whole notify-script but I could not
find an area where the job status is checked to deliver the notification
or not. Your FaxNotify only says, when the status of the job is "done"
set the returnfiletype to pdf.
I did this for all jobs directly via the notify script, and it works
(when I start the script manually).

Even when I send a fax to a wrong number and the status of the fax is
requeued I don't get a notification.

And when I look at a job it says:

...
notify: when done+requeued
...

So I think I should get a notification when the job is done.
