[hylafax-users] EMail to Fax gateway
Gian Carlo
i'm trying to configure the hylafax program to get and send mail
directly from my email client.
I sucessfully configured the email and hylafax to receive fax as PSD but
the opposite, converting emai lto FAX doesn't work.
I know that this has allready been discussed but I tried different way
to do it and I allways get the same error:
Password:faxmail: unable to process message: Login failed: 500 'PASS ':
Syntax error, expecting password.. )
I try to send fax using the following address in the mail:
First of all I can send fax using command line with the following command:
sendfax -n -D -d /PHONENUMBER/ /PDF_FILE/
Password: xxxxxx
request id is 120 (group id 120) for host localhost (1 file)
It seams that the system is looking for the password that it doesn't
receive.
The whole information in the log file of the mail is the following:
Jun 1 16:49:50 gianserver amavis[22683]: (22683-17) Passed CLEAN,

Can anyone help me?

this is my hosts.hfax file:
# hosts.hfaxd
# This file contains permissions and password for every user in
# the system.
#
# For more information on this biject, please see its man page
# and the commands faxadduser and faxdeluser.
localhost:21::
192.168.50.2
^giancarlo@::xxxxxxxxxxxxx
So Localhost is already there

You conf files permissions look good.
The uucp user is the one that has access to the tty's and thus modems.
Thank you.

What script are you using to submit the e-mails as faxes to the server?
The server is requiring a password from the client. So you can either
supply the password on the command-line from the script or you can
configure the server to accept fax jobs from the client without a password.
Thanks,
Lee.

I solved the problem thanks to hints from Giseppe Dia.
In my case the problem was that the content of /etc/hosts and hylafax/hosts
was not the same in the following line:
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
hylafax/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
I changed the definition in /etc/hosts as follow and now it works:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Hope that this will help others
Best regards
