[hylafax-users] how to choose a modem for sending faxes

[Andrea Lanza]

Hi all,
my question is about the possibility of choosing a specific device while sending faxes

I have email (postfix) to hylafax integration,
and it works well, but I have about 10 devices configured in hylafax.
I would like to send all the faxes (coming from emai, so from faxmail) throught only one of them

How can I accomplish this ?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea

Posting this with the hope it helps someone and that its not redundant
to someones else's input.

I have a strange situation where at nite/weekends I need to print 2
copies of a fax, but only one during "normal" hours.
I add a problem with g4 faxes only printing garbage. So I modified my
FaxDispatch file to be the following:

####################################################################
# This is to print all faxes to a local printer.

# Number of copies to print
print=1

#Printer name
printer=laser

# In order to print JBIG fax. I copied the following routine from faxrcvd.
# If the file is a JBIG it needs to be converted *before* it's printed.
# Just adding the RECV_DATA_CONVERSION="JBIG:MMR" here converts the file
# after it's printed or printed junk for a JBIG file.

# Removed the CONVERSION variable and always run the routine.
# RECV_DATA_CONVERSION="JBIG:MMR"

# Copied from faxrcvd. Comment out the first if statement.

# Convert TIFF file format/compression from JBIG to MMR (G4) if admin
# requested for it in FaxDispatch.
# The TIFF JBIG file as saved by HylaFAX is REPLACED with a MMR (G4)
version.
# if [ "$RECV_DATA_CONVERSION" = "JBIG:MMR" ]; then
if ($TIFFINFO $FILE | grep "JBIG" > /dev/null) then
$RM -f $FILE.g4
$TIFFCP -c g4 $FILE $FILE.g4
if [ $? = 0 -a -s $FILE.g4 ]; then
# Using 'cp' and then 'rm' (instead of 'mv') preserves
# owner/mode of the original file (at least on Linux)
#cp -p $FILE $FILE.jbig.tif
cp $FILE.g4 $FILE
fi
$RM -f $FILE.g4
fi
# fi

# Now we can print 1 or 2 copies based on day and/or hour.
# If it's after 4PM or before 8AM or Sat or Sun, print 2 copies.
# Otherwise print only 1.

hour=`date +%k`
day=`date +%w`

[ ${hour} -gt 15 ] || [ ${hour} -lt 8 ] || [ ${day} -gt 5 ] || [ ${day}
-lt 1 ] && print=2

fax2ps ${FILE} | lpr -#${print} -P${printer}

It would depend on how you're doing your mail-to-fax procedure. If
you're using sendfax in that process, then just use the sendfax -h
option to specify the modem. If you're using faxmail then pipe faxmail
output to sendfax and use the sendfax -h option.

Thanks,

Lee.

I have hylafax to postfix integration using "faxmail".
I modified master.cf, adding:

fax unix - n n - 1 pipe user=fax flags= argv=/usr/local/bin/faxmail -t done -d -n ${user}

so I am using faxmail, not sendfax

How can I pipe it to sendfax ?

and, in principle (but not mandatory!) I should be able to choose the device according to the sender domain
(or any other property)

I am using : (HylaFAX (tm) Version 5.4.3)

---

And what about using "X-FAX-parameter" suggested ?
It wasn't too easy (to me..) to understand from man faxmail where should I put this directive...

X-FAX-h: tty251IAX

(my faxes are iaxmodem)

thanks,
Andrea
