Lonnie, David:
I hadn't realized that tiff2pdf was included in AstLinux... I made the changes
suggested and am now using the following dialplan to e-mail received faxes as
pdf files:
exten => fax,1,Verbose(3,Incoming fax)
same => n,Set(FAXDEST=/tmp)
same => n,Set(tempfax=${STRFTIME(,,%C%y%m%d%H%M)})
same => n,ReceiveFax(${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.tif)
same => n,Verbose(3,- Fax receipt completed with status: ${FAXSTATUS})
same => n,System(tiff2pdf -j -o ${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.pdf
${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.tif)
same => n,System(echo -e "To: [email protected]\nSubject: FAX from
${CALLERID(all)}" | mime-pack "new fax" "${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.pdf"
"application/pdf" | sendmail -t)
same => n,system(rm ${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.*)
same => n,Hangup
So far I haven't had any problems with the System() command; I don't receive a
tonne of faxes, but it has worked every time.
Many thanks for your help,
Shamus
