Thank you for you time to help setting up fax.
I still have some questions.

[macro-faxreceive]
exten => s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,2,DBGet(EMAILADDR=extensionemail/${MACRO_EXTEN})
exten => s,3,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten => s,103,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten => s,104,Goto(3)

[fax]
exten => 2201,1,Macro(faxreceive)
exten => 2202,1,Macro(faxreceive)
exten => 2203,1,Macro(faxreceive)

exten => h,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR} "${CALLERIDNUM} 
${CALLERIDNAME}")




has the sender dial the extensions 2201 ~ 2203 ?

You said it would automatically go to [fax] if in zapata.conf is set
faxdetect=both

If so, than we could use NO number, but "s" as extension, would that be right?


NOTE: asterisk automatically jumps to the [fax] context if you are using
faxdetect in your zapata.conf

NOTE2: mailfax is a custom script I wrote. This is what it looks like:

---------------------- START mailfax script ------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

FAXFILE=$1
RECIPIENT=$2
FAXSENDER=$3
FAXID=`date +%j%H%M%S`
tempfoo="fax"
TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/${tempfoo}XXXXXX`
TMPFILE_A=`mktemp /tmp/${tempfoo}XXXXXX`.pdf


/usr/bin/tiff2pdf -p letter "${FAXFILE}" > "${TMPFILE_A}" metasend -b -t "$RECIPIENT" -s "Fax from $FAXSENDER" \ -f "${TMPFILE}" -m 'text/plain' -n \ -m 'application/pdf;name="fax'${FAXID}'.pdf"' -f "${TMPFILE_A}" \ -D 'PDF Fax Document'

rm "${TMPFILE}"
rm "${TMPFILE_A}"
---------------------- END mailfax script ------------------------------



I don't have found metasend on my system. Do you know where it is?

I based this config on the excellent information found at the following
website:
   http://scottstuff.net/scott/archives/000152.html



At this web site I find also a line:

|*CLI> database put extensionemail 2202 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How does that fit together with|
macro-faxreceive,103   ???



This methode would cover the part of receiving a fax via a zap device, how to 
exend it to receive a fax from a remote gateway via G711?


bye
