Re: [hylafax-users] Can't receive fax as eamil pdf attachment inRH 8

[Aaron Borowski <a-borowski-11@alumni.uchicago.edu>]

Your FaxDispatch should look like:

#!/bin/sh
echo DEFANGED.3367
exit
#!/bin/sh
echo DEFANGED.146895
exit
#!/bin/sh
echo DEFANGED.3368
exit
#!/bin/sh

case "$DEVICE" in
       ttyS0)   SENDTO=emailaddress ; MIMENCODE=bin/uuencode_it; 
FILETYPE=pdf;;
# all faxes received on ttyS0
esac


Then you must make a file calld "uuencode_it" in the hylafax bin 
directory. It looks like:

        #!/bin/sh
        uuencode -m $1 $1 | grep -E -v "^begin|^====$" 2>/dev/null

Then make it executable and you're done, provided of course that you 
have sendmail installed.

All of this in on the Hylafax website. If you use the provide search 
engine on the site you can search the mailing list archives or use go to 
the how-to's section.

Good luck
