[hylafax-users] mail2fax gateway

Postfix
I followed the guide here:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/faxing.php
to setup an alias for incoming mail <phone#>@fax.server.com that routes
to a shell script that extract the information for faxmail/sendfax and
sends it on its happy way.
If I run the commands from the root shell, everything works fine. If I
send an email to postfix thus using the script, it executes the command
as the user "nobody," textfmt errors about not being able to find font
maps, and dies. For those w/ html email, I've highlighted the errors in
the logs.
See two contrasting logs below. My hunch is that it's a permission
problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
What a successful job (from the shell) looks like:
#cat mail2faxmail.30197 | faxmail -v -T sla...@thecaseygroup.com |
sendfax -vv -n -D -f sla...@thecaseygroup.com -i "test fax" -d

I've had similar issues with mailman. My solution was to add a sudo
line with NOPASSWD option to allow nobody to exec my script as a user
with permissions. this way it keeps each piece running with the
"recommended" security settings

shell that is used is /sbin/nologin which means that all the normal stuff
you depend on in your session (i.e. path, fontpath, gdfontpath, etc) is now
not set and the result is programs like textfmt dont work properly.
You could try and set these path variables in your script or possibly there
is a way to explicitly tell textfmt where to look for fonts.
Samuel Laakso
different error, "Command output: Cannot open audit interface -
aborting."
From the textfmt manpage, it uses /etc/hylafax/hyla.conf for its
configuration.
Would anyone be able to tell me how to set a path variable for the
fontmaps explicitly in the script?
