[hylafax-users] How to debug faxmail ?

[Uwe Dippel <udippel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to set up a fax-to-email and email-to-fax gateway on Debian.
Before I had these running on RedHat and OpenBSD without problems.
So I installed Debian and the hylafax packages (apt-get).
I changed the FaxDispatch and did all the necessary to postfix:

fax       unix  -       n       n       -       1       pipe
  flags= user=fax argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n ${user}
(in master)

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1
(in main)

I also recreated the transport map after adding
fax.my.domain.com      fax:localhost

I also use the same postfix to send my mails; like this, so it must work 
properly. Of course, it has been restarted.

But it doesn't work. I get postfix logs saying:

Process exited:
   Exit status 1:
      /usr/lib/postfix/pipe: 14 Time(s)


Unrecognized warning:
    /usr/lib/postfix/pipe: bad command startup -- throttling : 14 Time(s)
    premature end-of-input on private/fax socket while reading input 
attribute name : 14 Time(s)
    private/fax socket: malformed response : 14 Time(s)
    transport fax failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile 
record for the problem description : 14 Time(s)


**Unmatched Entries**

So, Debian didn't install a user 'fax', only a group 'fax'.
Therefore I added this user, and now I get:

Foreign Bounce:
   To 89212374@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Msg="Command died with status 255: 
"/usr/bin/faxmail". Command output: Password:faxmail: Login failed: 500 
'PASS ': Syntax error, expecting password.. " : 1 Time(s)


Any help appreciated here !
How do I debug this (Debian ?) problem ?

Thanks,

Uwe
