[asterisk-users] fax2mail ann missing CallerID number

[Thomas Stein]

Hello.

I have a problem recieving fax without a callerid. Somehow the script i'm 
using fails and i don't know how to fix it. Does anyone have an idea how to 
solve this? Here an example of a working fax transmission:

>fax2mail v2.0
>  Triggered on Tuesday, May 29 2007, at 10:38 AM
>  $1 = CallerID number of fax sender = 02365207150
>  $2 = CallerID name of fax sender =
>  $3 = Fax number called = FaxNum
>  $4 = Destination name = RecipName
>  $5 = Destination email address = fax at mydomain
>  $6 = Fax file name (without .tif extension) 
> = /var/spool/asterisk/fax/02365207150
>  $7 = Format conversion (n=none,p=pdf,e=eps) = p
>  Fax file /var/spool/asterisk/fax/02365207150.tif found.
>  Converted /var/spool/asterisk/fax/02365207150.tif 
>  to /var/spool/asterisk/fax/02365207150.pdf.
>  E-mailed file to fax at mydomain
>  Removing destination file /var/spool/asterisk/fax/02365207150.pdf


And here without the transmitted callerid:

>fax2mail v2.0
>  Triggered on Wednesday, May 30 2007, at 10:04 AM
>  $1 = CallerID number of fax sender =
>  $2 = CallerID name of fax sender = FaxNum
>  $3 = Fax number called = RecipName
>  $4 = Destination name = fax at mydomain
>  $5 = Destination email address = /var/spool/asterisk/fax/
>  $6 = Fax file name (without .tif extension) = p
>  $7 = Format conversion (n=none,p=pdf,e=eps) =
>  Fax file p.tif not found.
>  E-mailed warning to /var/spool/asterisk/fax/

In this case i have a file called .tif in my /var/spool/asterisk/fax folder.

Here the relevant part of asterisk extension.conf

exten => 49,1,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${CALLERIDNUM}.tif)
exten => 49,n,Set(FAXFILENOEXT=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 49,n,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten => 49,n,System('/usr/local/bin/fax2mail ${CALLERIDNUM} "${CALLERIDNAME}" 
FaxNum RecipName fax at mydomain ${FAXFILENOEXT} p')

Thanks in advance for any help.

best regards
