[hylafax-users] FaxDispatch on 6.0.5 does not work

[Sebastian Kösters]

Hi,

i have problems using FaxDispatch.

I installed hylafax-server-6.0.5-1rhel5 on CentOS 5.6 x64 and everything is fine. Sending and receiving Faxes works great.

Only fax2email (as PDF) does not work. I configured FaxDispatch like the many tutorials told me to do:

[root@server/]# cat /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch
SENDTO=FaxMaster
FILETYPE=pdf

i also tried this ways:

[root@server/]# cat /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch
SENDTO=FaxMaster;
FILETYPE=pdf;

[root@server/]# cat /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch
SENDTO=m...@mymail.com
FILETYPE=PDF

[root@server/]# cat /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch
SENDTO=m...@mymail.com;
FILETYPE=PDF;

nothing worked. I receive a FAX and nothing happens (no eMail). I only see this in the Log:

....route to <unspecified>......

i think this has something to do with FaxDispatch.

I send eMails over ssmtp, which works fine (i also see no attemept from hylafax to send an email in /var/log/maillog, so i think mail itselfs is not the Problem).

I hope one of you guys can help me.

Best regards and thanks in advanced
Sebastian

You should show the complete message and if necessary some lines before this.

In your syslog you should see how HylaFAX calls the faxrcvd script. (If not it might be necessary to increase some Tracing setting for HylaFAX.)

Call the script manually with the same arguments as the user that is running the HylaFAX processes from the directory /var/spool/hylafax or whatever your base directory is.
If this is not sufficient use shell tracing: sh -x bin/faxrcvd <arguments>

Thanks for your help!

this was a very good hint. Now everything works.

faxrcvd tried to use sendmail which was not installed. I created some links, so that the script will use ssmtp instead of sendmail.

Also i had to fix the mailfrom. Now its working.

Thanks very much!

best regards
Sebastian
