hi,

I don't use hylafax but mgetty/vgetty...

I made a program : faxviamail with perl.
I think that it is very easy to adapt it for hylafax.

A person sends a mail to a dedicated user.
The mail is transformed into fax and a pdf version of the fax is returned by mail.


difference between hylafax and mgetty

mgetty : usr/bin/faxspool
hylafax : /usr/bin/sendfax

I think that it is enough to change for hylafax:
sub Envoi_Fax { } # faxspool
and
sub FaxToPdf { }

and configure faxviamail.rc for your server!

Are You interested by this program?

Hi Anne,

That sounds very interesting!

Are you going to put the script here or mail it?
Will you support us(me) to set it up?

I don't use procmail... I don't know for your problem...

I use qmail

my program :
3w . linux-nuts . dyndns.org / faxviamail / faxviamail.tgz

you add an user.
This user receive mails for fax.

For example, your user is 'usermailfax'.

You copy :
bin /, faxviamail.rc, .qmail in /home/esmith/files/users/usermailfax

You modify :
1)
faxviamail.rc for hylafax :
=FaxSpool=  /usr/bin/faxspool
=Serveur= you_server

2)
bin/faxviamail.pl :
change for hylafax

sub Envoi_Fax { } # faxspool for mgetty, sendfax for hylafax

and

sub FaxToPdf { }

and

# Extention possible des pièces jointes
my @suffixlist = (".g3",".ps",".dvi",".pbm",".pgm",".ppm",".txt",".asc",".lj",".pcl",".xwd",".gif",".tif","pdf");

To test :
---------

send a mail : usermailfax@your_server

in body mail : (mandatory)
Fax-No: 555-12123456
Fax-To: tutu
Fax-From: Mme titi
Fax-User: test2
Fax-Pass: test

you can to add
the text in body mail
or
1 or many attached file
or
the both

format attached for mgetty : (to change this list for hylafax) files : ".g3",".ps",".dvi",".pbm",".pgm",".ppm",".txt",".asc",".lj",".pcl",".xwd",".gif",".tif" and "pdf"

user test3 in english, test1 and test2 in french.
I include gettext for multi language.

If I have provided RelayFAX to someone here it was not to be passed around freely.

I provide HylaFAX under GPL for everyone and have done so since version 4.

Sorry - what was that. I`m not quite sure I understand your comments.

And who has the rights to them? There is nothing stated in the scripts them selves.

And when version 6 came they didn't work properly, i fixed that and send that to you Chal instantly, without you even had to ask...

Am I missing something here, I thought that RelayFax was a paid for program or is it possible to use it without paying?  :?

Just to be clear on this.

You can use the freely available relayfax client to submit faxes to hylafax. This is done by passing the submission thru a procmail script that was written by one of the Hylafax guys.

The current script on the Hylafax site will not work with the current version of SME. You will need to find a modified version.

The relayfax client is a proprietory program that sends a fax as a specially-formatted e-mail to an SMTP server. The terms of use of that program is a matter for the owners of that program to decide. In the past, I have personally asked them whether the client is free to use, and they stated that they are happy for it to be used for free.

What happens to that e-mail after it is sent to the server, has nothing to do with the relayfax client. There is a commercial relayfax server that can be purchased to handle it, but in this case, since the fax is a simple text e-mail with an attachment, it is simple enough for hylafax to pick it up (with the help of a small script) and turn the attachment and data into a multipage fax and optional cover sheet.

Hope that makes it clearer!
