Hello everyone,
I'm trying to send a received fax with mutt, when I try it from the
Linux shel it works, but when trying with Asterisk's System command it
doesn't.
Successful Linux command:
echo | mutt -s "New fax" earohua...@gmail.com
<mailto:earohua...@gmail.com> -a /tmp/faxes/201306191111.tif
Unsuccessful Asterisk Command:
same => n,System(mutt -s "New fax" elder.arohua...@gmail.com
<mailto:elder.arohua...@gmail.com> -a ${FAXDEST}/${tempfax}.tif)
I'm using Asterisk 1.8.19.0 on Debian 6.0.6, Asterisk was installed by root.
Any hint will be appreciated.

Reading the responses to this thread I suspect the issue is that the
Muttrc file cannot be found, I am assuming the user:group Asterisk is
running as does not have a shell associated with it nor a home directory.
I am using OpenBSD and the above is true for my environment.
I have in my Asterisk Spool directory the folder structure
/var/spool/asterisk/fax/received. This folder is read-write for the
account Asterisk runs as.
On my system I set it up to use macros, one to receive the fax and
another to send the e-mail if one was received. The calling of the macro
to send the e-mail is performed in the Hangup extension.
I use extensions.ael on my system so here are the macros I set up;
macro fax-receive( fax-number, header-info, sender, recipient ) {
/*
${ARG1} is Receiving Station Fax Number
${ARG2} is Fax Header Information
${ARG3} is Fax Sender E-mail Address
${ARG4} is Fax Recipient E-mail Address
*/
NoOp(**** FAX RECEIVE ****);
Set(FAXOPT(localstationid)=${LOCAL(fax-number)});
Set(FAXOPT(headerinfo)=${LOCAL(header-info)});
Set(FROMADDR=${LOCAL(sender)});
Set(TOADDR=${LOCAL(recipient)});
NoOp(**** SETTING FAXOPT ****);
NoOp(FAXOPT(ecm) : ${FAXOPT(ecm)});
NoOp(FAXOPT(headerinfo) : ${FAXOPT(headerinfo)});
NoOp(FAXOPT(localstationid) : ${FAXOPT(localstationid)});
Set(RXSTART=${EPOCH});
Set(FAXRXPATH=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/received);
Set(FAXRXFILE=fax-${CALLERID(number)}-${UNIQUEID});
NoOp(**** RECEIVING FAX : ${FAXRXFILE} ****);
ReceiveFAX(${FAXRXPATH}/${FAXRXFILE}.tif,fd);
NoOp(**** Subroutine Return ****);
return;
};
macro email_rxfax() {
Set(CALLDURATION=$[(${EPOCH}-${RXSTART})]);
System(FAXRXFILE=${FAXRXFILE} FAXRXPATH=${FAXRXPATH}
FAXRXSTATUS="${FAXOPT(status)}" FAXERROR="${FAXOPT(statusstr)}"
FROMADDR="${FROMADDR}" TOADDR="${TOADDR}"
LOCALSTATIONID="${FAXOPT(localstationid)}"
REMOTESTATIONID="${REMOTESTATIONID}" FAX
PAGES=${FAXOPT(pages)} FAXBITRATE=${FAXOPT(rate)}
FAXRESOLUTION=${FAXOPT(resolution)} CIDNUMBER="${CALLERID(number)}" CIDNAME
="${CALLERID(name)}" CALLDURATION=${CALLDURATION}
/usr/local/sbin/afax2email);
NoOp(**** STATUS : ${SYSTEMSTATUS} ****);
NoOp(**** Subroutine Return ****);
return;
};
Note, the System() line in email_rxfax() is one long line before the NoOp().
Here is an example entry in extensions.ael;
context fax-pstn1 {
fax => {
NoOp(Fax Received ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});
&fax-receive(+61 8 9XXXXXXX,Your Business
Name,FaxMaster@<your.domain.name>,lmoore@<your.domain.name>);
};
h => {
if ( "X${FAXRXFILE}" != "X" )
{
&email_rxfax();
}
NoOp(Call/Fax Ended ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});
};
};
Here is a sample extensions.ael entry for an incioming fax.
context fax-pstn1 {
fax => {
NoOp(Fax Received ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});
&fax-receive(+61 8 9XXXXXXX,Your Business
Name,FaxMaster@<your.domain.name>,lmoore@<your.domain.name>);
};
h => {
if ( "X${FAXRXFILE}" != "X" )
{
&email_rxfax();
}
NoOp(Call/Fax Ended ${STRFTIME(,,%F %T %z)});
};
};
I created a Muttrc file in /etc/asterisk, I use msmtp for the mail
progam, sendmail works but I didn't like the Envelope-From information
sendmail would add hence using msmtp, because the user asterisk runs as
does not have a home directory nor a shell I _had_ to use an RC file for
mutt. Here is my Muttrc file.
set sendmail="/usr/local/bin/msmtp"
set use_from=yes
set realname="Asterisk Fax Agent"
set from=FaxMaster
set record=""
#set envelope_from=yes
This is the afax2email script I use, note that mutt is called with "-F
/etc/asterisk/Muttrc".
#! /bin/ksh
#
# Script to e-mail a received fax from Asterisk
#
#
