Seems to be broken with newer versions… Use mgetty+sendfax instead.
To send all faxes after 20:00 edit /usr/local/lib/fax/sendfax.conf
SendTime: "20:00"
Edit /usr/local/lib/fax/hyla.conf
# FontMap/FontPath added by faxsetup (Thu Feb 2 14:32:10 CET 2006) FontMap: /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts FontPath: /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib:/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts PageSize: ISO A4 MIMEConverters: /usr/local/faxscripts
Create the MIME conversion tools:
mkdir /usr/local/faxscripts mkdir /usr/local/faxscripts/application
Create the file /usr/local/faxscripts/application/pdf
#!/usr/local/bin/bash /bin/echo " " /bin/echo "showpage" /usr/local/bin/gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r600x800 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- $1 | /usr/local/faxscripts/filter.pl
Create the file /usr/local/faxscripts/filter.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl # Read from the standard input @text=<STDIN>; $size=@text; # Count the number of "showpage" $count=0; for($i=0;$i<=$size;$i++){if($text[$i] =~ /showpage/){$count++;}} # Discard the last line that contain "showpage" $num=1; for($i=0;$i<=$size;$i++){ if($text[$i] =~ /showpage/){ if($num!=$count){$num++;} else{$text[$i]=~s/showpage//g;} } print $text[$i]; }
Give both file the executable bit
chmod +x /usr/local/faxscripts/application/pdf chmod +x /usr/local/faxscripts/filter.pl
Now conversion to postscript should be possible. Take an email with a pdf attachment and save it under testmail.mail. Now execute the command:
cat testmail.mail|faxmail -v >test.ps
Check the output from faxmail at screen and have a look at test.ps and verify that it was a successfully conversion.
Add a new domain_list for faxes:
domainlist fax = <; fax
Add at the section routers:
fax: driver = manualroute transport = fax route_list = fax
Add at the section transports:
fax: driver = pipe user = idefix command ="/usr/local/bin/faxmail -n -d ${local_part}" home_directory = /usr/local/bin
Now send an email to the address
<number>@fax
replace <number> with the fax number.
The fax is now scheduled, you can check this with the command:
faxstat -l -s
