Re: [hylafax-users] Sendmail faxmail mangling

It's at least worth a shot.  With all the different approaches to implementing HylaFax, it's hard to find the specific body of documentation that will best fit one's own approach.  Regardless of what the documentation says, your script appears to be parsing the To: information from in front of the @.

This is not how I understood the particular script to work though.  It comes from the User.Name@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx section of the HOWTO unless I'm reading the website incorrectly.

Place the phone number in front of the @, and whatever mail domain your server is receiving for after the @.  That should at least get the format correct

Sorry about that garbage on the last email.

Yes, I have metamail. 

I realized that I, in fact,  DIDN'T have:

define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/mail2sendfax')dnl
define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`mail2sendfax -d -n -p 12pt $u@$h $f')dnl MAILER(`fax')dnl

In my sendmail.mc but instead had:

define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/mail2sendfax')dnl
define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d -n -p 12pt $u@$h $f')dnl MAILER(`fax')dnl

Which was failing.  I fixed this and tried a fax to User.Name@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and it is trying to send the fax using the User.Name as the TONUMBER.

Any ideas now?

Argh.
Thanks
Lucas

The mail2sendfax script uses metamail. Have you got metamail?

Thanks,

Lee.
