Re: [hylafax-users] Problem with TIFF attachment

["Anthony Engelbrecht" <anthonye@attunetech.com>]

Hi Adam,

Thanx for the info, I have checked this as well, and double checked against
your notes, and it is 100% correct according to your notes as well.

The only difference is that I also have a separate uuencode script as per
recommendations on the Hylafax how-to's

Regards
Anthony

As far as I know, HylaFAX uses mimencode.

Have you modified your faxrcvd script in any way?  I certainly did,
because I wanted my delivery reports to read differently and such.  If
you have modified it, just check a few things:

Line 204+ of bin/faxrcvd tells us that if the filetype is 'tif,' add the
four Content- lines to the email so the email client knows how to
interpret the attachment:

         echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY"
         if [ "$FILETYPE" = "tif" ]; then
             echo "Content-Type: image/tiff; name=\"$FILENAME.tif\""
             echo "Content-Description: FAX document"
             echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
             echo "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"$FILENAME.tif\""
             echo ""
             $MIMENCODE $FILE 2>/dev/null

Don't forget that this script is creating an email file.  It can't have
any blank lines in the wrong place or anything else erroneous.  Make
sure you haven't got any extra lines or anything that might foul up the
mimencode.

Make sure line 235 onwards is correct.

         echo ""
         echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY--"
        ) | 2>&1 $SENDMAIL -ffax -oi $SENDTO

Take note of the MIME boundaries.  Once you have received the fax and
Hylafax has processed it and sent it through, loko at
/var/spool/mail/$username without using a mail program, and you'll see
the full email including all attachments.  If the encoded attachment
doesn't look like 59 bytes of data, it's probably not, and it's probably
not being set out in the email correctly.

Hope this is of any help, because it was exactly my solution and I had
the same problems :)
