Why don't you just use the metamail package instead? Here's how I did it: [macro-faxreceive] exten => s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif) exten => s,2,DBGet(EMAILADDR=extensionemail/${MACRO_EXTEN}) exten => s,3,rxfax(${FAXFILE}) exten => s,103,SetVar([EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => s,104,Goto(3) [fax] exten => 2201,1,Macro(faxreceive) exten => 2202,1,Macro(faxreceive) exten => 2203,1,Macro(faxreceive) exten => h,1,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR} "${CALLERIDNUM} ${CALLERIDNAME}") NOTE: asterisk automatically jumps to the [fax] context if you are using faxdetect in your zapata.conf NOTE2: mailfax is a custom script I wrote. This is what it looks like: ---------------------- START mailfax script ------------------------------ #!/bin/sh FAXFILE=$1 RECIPIENT=$2 FAXSENDER=$3 FAXID=`date +%j%H%M%S` tempfoo="fax" TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/${tempfoo}XXXXXX` TMPFILE_A=`mktemp /tmp/${tempfoo}XXXXXX`.pdf /usr/bin/tiff2pdf -p letter "${FAXFILE}" > "${TMPFILE_A}" metasend -b -t "$RECIPIENT" -s "Fax from $FAXSENDER" \ -f "${TMPFILE}" -m 'text/plain' -n \ -m 'application/pdf;name="fax'${FAXID}'.pdf"' -f "${TMPFILE_A}" \ -D 'PDF Fax Document' rm "${TMPFILE}" rm "${TMPFILE_A}" ---------------------- END mailfax script ------------------------------ I based this config on the excellent information found at the following website: http://scottstuff.net/scott/archives/000152.html But note that I heavily modified the mailfax script from the original version. Why? 1.) The original used the Perl mime-construct script, which has a lot of annoying Perl dependencies. 2.) The original didn't send usable MIME attachments to me. Neither KMail or Evolution could successfully decode the attachment because the email contained no text/plain part. My script uses metasend from the metamail package, instead of mime-construct, and it adds an empty text/plain section at the beginning of the email so that KMail and Evolution and probably other mail clients can decode the attachment properly. The trade off is that it has to use temporary files. Uck. :) Also, you'll probably have to change some of the paths for things like tiff2pdf and metasend.
