Bug#518474: hylafax-server: Destructive Configuration in cron.weekly script

[Marc Fargas]

Package: hylafax-server
Severity: normal

Hi there,

I have an HylaFAX server running in the office and I just discovered
it kills any fax older than 100 days... That is configured in a
parameter to faxcron in /etc/cron.weekly/hylafax .

Couldn't this be moved to /etc/default/hylafax ? And make the
parameters default to something non-destructive. As a) by default
hylafax does not attach faxes to e-mails, b) it deletes faxes older
than 100 days.

I temporarylly fixed it by altering the crontab but I guess apt-get
will kill my changes at some point :)

Cheers,
Marc

Are you referring to the archival procedure? If I remember correctly all
faxes older than 35 days are automatically removed by a cron job. If you
want to keep these faxes you should mark them for archival. This is a
parameter that should be activated when you submit the fax.

Please, let me understand if we are talking about the same problem.

Bye,
Giuseppe
