- I have built and installed fax-3.2.1 and all is well except for using faxmail. I have an alias like:
-
- # Alias for on-line fax daemon
- #
- fax: "|/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail"
-
-
- But when I send mail I get:
-
- baloo [/var/yp ] <364> mail -v fax
- Subject: test
- Phone: 5309328

- Hi
- EOT
- baloo [/var/yp ] <365> fax... aliased to "|/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail"
- "|/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail"... Connecting to baloo (prog)...
- missing a fax phone
- "|/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail"... unknown mailer error 1
-
- Am I doing something stupid? It certainly runs the program.
- I even modified the faxmail to echo the arguments it found and sure enough:
-
- "|/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail"... Connecting to baloo (prog)...
- (null) Operator <root> (null)
-
- This was for h->phone, h->from, and h->return_path.

- Thanks,
