I may be a little late on this, but what permissions are on /usr/local/sbin/mailfax?
 
I have a similar set up to execute a mysql query to grab the email address based on DNIS (PRI T1 with multiple numbers on one circuit) and then email the fax to the destination. I set the perm to 755 on the script so everyone/thing can execute.
 
Also, what are the perms on /var/spool/asterisk/asterisk-fax?
 
Can you run the script from the command line by passing it the appropriate values (i.e. /usr/local/sbin/mailfax /var/spool/asterisk/asterisk-fax/#########.#.tiff [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
 
In the event that something weird is going on with the command line parameters, here are some considerations:
 
  • If the folder for the TIFFs is always the same, you could do a Set (or SetVar depending on your Asterisk build) to have the UNIQUEID passed only to the script
  • If the email reciepients are always on the same domain, you need to only pass the name portion of the email address
For example:

Extensions.conf section ---

[fax]

exten => s,1,Answer

exten => s,2,Macro(faxreceive)

;exten => h,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR})        << This line could go away

 

[macro-faxreceive]

exten => s,1,Set(FAX_OUT=${UNIQUEID})

exten => s,2,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/asterisk-fax/${FAX_OUT}.tif)

exten => s,3,rxfax(${FAXFILE})

exten => s,4,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FOX_OUT} MyName)

;exten => s,3,Set([EMAIL PROTECTED])        << This line could go away

 

Assuming #!/bin/bash ;)

 

#!/bin/bash

 

#    $ARG1 is the TIFF file name

#    $ARG2 is the name of the domain email user

 

EMAIL_ADDR=$2"@mycompany.com"

FAX_FILE="/var/spool/asterisk/asterisk-fax/"$1

 

#    Do the sendmail thing here

 

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Just my 40 cents.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP rxfax, no tiff.

Hello,

Let me start by saying I have checked the wiki and the archives and did find some relative information.  I tried the suggestions in those threads, but still have the same problem.

 

I’m using the CVS Asterisk from July 11, 2005.

Redhat FC2

SpanDSP 0.0.2pre18

Libtiff 3.5.7

Digium PCI card 1 FXO, 1FXS.

 

I have a single POTS line coming, but I have 2 numbers and am using distinctive ring detection in *.

When you call my “fax” number, the ring detection does work, and does send it to the fax context correctly.

 

The debugs show the call is answered, rxfax is invoked and it is trying to write to the fax file.  After the sending party hangs up, it tries to execute a script that will ultimately mail me the fax file.  But since the tiff file isn’t there to begin with, that fails.  The permissions on that folder are 777 for now… so permissions aren’t the problem. 

 

I saw a post by Steve Underwood from last year on a similar problem, but it was looking like timing slips on the T1/E1 for that user … I’m just using a POTS line though.  I’ve also done ztmonitor to look at the Rx and Tx levels.  Rx is a little hotter than Tx, but they’re both well on the right hand side of the scale. 

 

Any help is appreciated.  Debugs & extensions.conf excerpt are below.

Thanks,

Rob
