[asterisk-users] Mailing a fax with mutt does not succeed

[Bruce Marriner]

  I (sorry) haven't read this whole thread of e-mails but I am currently 
using asterisk (11.3) to send received faxes via e-mail on a CentOS 6.4 
system and it's working just fine.  Perhaps my receive fax macro 
dialplan that I'm testing with would be helpful...  I'm using mailx 
instead of mutt so if mutt is a requirement then I'm again sorry but 
perhaps mailx could be an alternative for the OP..


[macro-ReceiveFAX]
; ${ARG1}  - Email address(s) to send e-mail to.

exten => s,1,Verbose(0, macro-ReceiveFAX)
  same => n,Set(CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push)=fax-hdlr,1(args));
  same => n,Set(FAXPATH=/var/spool/asterisk/fax)
  same => n,Set(FAXBASE=${STRFTIME(,,%C%y%m%d%H%M)})
  same => n,Set(FAXFULL=${FAXPATH}/${FAXBASE}.tif)
  same => n,Set(FAXMAIL=${ARG1})
  same => n,NoOp(**** RECEIVING FAX : ${FAXFULL} to ${FAXMAIL} ****)
  same => n,ReceiveFax(${FAXFULL},df)
exten => fax-hdlr,1,Verbose(0, ReceiveFax Handler : Fax Status = 
${FAXSTATUS})
  same => n,Goto(fax-${FAXOPT(status)},1)
  same => n,Return()

exten => fax-SUCCESS,1,Verbose(0, ReceiveFAX SUCCESS Handler)
  same => n,System(echo "Your fax is attached to this e-mail." | mail -s 
"[FAX] Received ${FAXOPT(pages)} page fax from ${CALLERID(number)}" -a 
${FAXPATH}/${FAXBASE}.tif ${FAXMAIL})
  same => n,Return()

exten => fax-FAILED,1,Verbose(0, ReceiveFAX FAILED Handler)
  same => n,System(echo "Unable to receive fax from caller." | mail -s 
"[FAX] ${FAXOPT(status)} error: ${FAXOPT(error)} from 
${CALLERID(number)}" ${FAXMAIL})
  same => n,Return()
