Re: flexfax: paging

[Erik Parker <eparker@mindsec.com>]

Compiled from source..
Running on redhat 5.2 (with proper patches)

im doing it through a jury rigged gateway, using
/etc/aliases

alias example:

erik: "|/bin/stripper|/usr/local/bin/sendpage -l 1 -p Att3035551212"

/bin/stripper is a just a series of greps to kill header info..

The pages send.. most of the time.. For instance, I emailed:

chad@host.navidec.com,peter@host.navidec.com

they both got the pages.. but faxstat -d shows:

JID  Pri S  Owner Number       Pages Dials     TTS Status
3793  62 D   mail 18008418837   0:0   1:12         Job has no PIN to send to
3794 126 D   mail 18008418837   0:0   1:12         Job has no PIN to send to


My pagermap looks like:

^Att([0-9]+)$   18008418837/\1
.*      reject



and the log file of the above pages is:

Note on the last 4 lines.. RECV ACK.. RECV: NO CARRIER..
Is it possibly that AT&T is just hanging up, and never sending
some kind of GOODBYE command that hylafax expects? and then Hylafax
is registering that it was never completed or something?

but in faxstat -d, it still shows job has no pin.. and im not sure why on
that.


ANy help would be great. thanks.
