In this HOWTO you can find howto setup your SME server as a fax gateway.
Install HylaFAX on Mitel Network SME Server
There allready is a very good site for getting information on howto install hylafax.
Please visit Rick Sulman's site for installing HylaFAX.
If you are looking for all the rpm's, you can check my server at this link.
Setting up SME-Server
Open your server-manager. (I guess this!)
Create a new user account using the one of the following data:
Account name: faxuser
First name: fax
Last name: fax
E-mail delivery: Deliver e-mail locally
Forwarding address:
Create a new virtual domain:
Domain name: fax
Brief description: fax
Content: Primary web site
Changing SME-Server configuration
redirect all mail for .fax domain to faxuser
Next step is to redirect all mail for the domain .fax to the user faxuser. We can do this by creating a custom template file in the apropriate folder.
Create the folder (if not allready exists).
In this 95faxmail file we will enter the virtual domain, and connect it to the faxuser.
The only line in this file will look like this:
.fax:faxuser
Redirect mail for faxuser to mailfax script.
I don't know exactly why, but qmail seems not to save this message according to the .qmail settings, but to process them as described in the ....users/faxuser/.qmail-default file. Therefore we create a new file that tells qmail to pipe all mail to the (to be created) mailfax script.
In the users home directory /home/e-smith/files/users/faxuser. We create and edit the file named .qmail-default:
Restart the qmail server.
First we'll have to rebuild the configuration files. Then we can restart qmail.
Rebuild the SME-Server configuration files by executing:
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
This can take a while, after that we restart qmail:
service qmail restart
Adding the mailfax script
We can download the mailfax script from this location, and copy it to the /etc/hylafax/etc folder.
eg: Say it is downloaded to the /tmp folder.
We can also route all incoming faxes to the faxuser's email box. To do this we must create a new HylaFAX configuration file. It is possible to receive the incoming faxes in one of three formats. (.ps .pdf or .tif)
pico /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch
This file must contain:
FILETYPE=pdf;
SENDTO=faxuser;
Substitute tif or ps for pdf as you desire.
More information on this subject can be found at: HylaFAX Received Fax Delivery HOWTO. This is where I found the information anyway.
Testing
Say what! Are we testing allready? This is great!
Send a mail from your favorite mailing software to the SME-Server. This means that the smtp server in your email software must be set to the SME-Server. Because the email adress we are going to be using will only be known by our server. Then we will send a e-mail with to following recepeint: Name@FaxNumber.fax
+ The name can be any name.
+ The fax number is going to be used for faxing the document.
+ Mail can only be send as a plain text email.
+ Mail can have a postscript attachment, this attachment will also be faxed. (filename.ps)
So don't expect your html formatted emails to be faxed! Sorry!
+ Please don't use the example fax number!
