You need to add error handling to your faxmail routine to achieve a robust
transport.

Thank you very much, Sandy, I will try with your script on monday, as i need
this in my job.
just to enhance my knowledge, could you explain a bit this sentences please?
cat >in.$$ || {
echo Cannot save mail to file; exit $EX_TEMPFAIL; }
I assume this gets the piped mail into "in.PID"
The mail gets piped into the file or if this is not possible the script
reports the problem and sets exit code to tempfail and exits.
I need no content filter, as faxmail parses teh mail contents and convers teh
multiparts to postscripts
That script is taken from the example of the simple filter script of the
postfix documentation. The part with the content filter is commented out to
show where the content filter should be called.
In your case I would probably check the error code of faxmail and report back
to the sender if the fax was sent or not.
faxmail -o $owner -d -n $destination then the way to pass the piped mail is with the < in.$$ saved previously,
rigth?
Yes.
how should i call this script form master.cf like i was calling mine?
Exactly as you have shown. Otherwise the script parameters probably would not
be $1 and $2.

Have you tried to use the command in mailbox_command as I suggested? That
would take care of the user rights problem, provided the user is a system

I tried with a custom script but i cant find how to get the mail to a variable

This is only available for recipient address in $mydestination. The
documentation also lists the variables that can be used in mailbox_command.

parameter to set the job owner, the problem is that parameter is not in the

What i tried to do is call a custom script in the master.cf like that

then the customfax.sh shoul do

Well, the case is exactly this one.
I have a mail to fax gateway, but the fax jobs are sent always with the same
user (the sendfax). What i want is that the fax job is sent each time with
the user who really send the mai
Now i have this line in the master.cf
fax unix - n n - 1 pipe
flags= user=fax argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n $(user)
All the faxes seems to be sent by the user fax. I whant that each fax sent
belongs to the user who really sent the fax.
what i whould change is the user=fax to user=$(user), but i tried this and
failed

Hi to All.

Yeees... that is possible. Though I don't know if it is exactly what you
require. "man 8 pipe" will tell you that the pipe deamon expands the localpart
of the recipient address (the part left of the "@" character in the recipient
address) for the macro ${user}.
If that is the information you need, everything works.
ie:
procmail unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m /etc/procmailrc ${sender}
${recipient}
in this line change the user=nobody to user=${user}
I wouldn't touch that.
If you deliver to a command via mailbox_command (not a pipe) then this comes
to play:
Mailbox delivery can be delegated to an external command
specified with the mailbox_command_maps and mailbox_com-
mand configuration parameters. The command executes with
the privileges of the recipient user (exceptions: sec-
ondary groups are not enabled; in case of delivery as
root, the command executes with the privileges of
default_privs).
Would that help you?
it is not exactly to change the procmail user, but for changing the user in
the emailto fax gateway, the line is similar.
How does the line look?
