FAXRCVD(8C)FAXRCVD(8C)NAMEfaxrcvd - HylaFAX notification script for received facsimile
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/fax/bin/faxrcvd qfile devid commid error-msg [ callid-1 [
callid-2 [ ... [ callid-n ] ] ] ]
DESCRIPTION
bin/faxrcvd is the command script invoked by the facsimile server when‐
ever a facsimile is received. The default script sends electronic mail
to the FaxMaster user describing the content of the facsimile and other
useful information such as the time spent receiving the document. The
arguments are:
qfile the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root
of the spooling hierarchy.
devid the modem device on which the facsimile was received.
commid the communication identifier for the inbound call.
error-msg an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered
during the receive operation.
callid the value of various identification indicators from the call
NOTES
This script can route facsimile directly to the intended recipient. To
do this create a shell script bin/FaxDispatch in the spooling area that
sets SENDTO to the receiver's electronic mail address. For example,
case "$SENDER" in
*1*510*526*1212*) SENDTO=sam;; # Sam's test rig in Berkeley
*1*415*390*1212*) SENDTO=raster@asd;; # 7L Xerox room, used for scanning
*5107811212) SENDTO=peebles@mti;; # stuff from home
esac
case "$DEVICE" in
ttyS1) SENDTO=john;; # all faxes received on ttyS1
ttyLT0) SENDTO=mary@home;; # all faxes received on ttyLT0
esac
case "$CIDNUMBER" in
435*) SENDTO=lee; FILETYPE=pdf;; # all faxes from area code 435
5059627777) SENDTO=amy; FILETYPE=tif;; # Amy wants faxes in TIFF
esac
case "$SUBADDR" in
53) SENDTO=FaxMaster;; # without double-notification
roger) SENDTO=roger;; # possible text subaddressing
esac
Note that you must match any embedded white space. The facsimile will
be sent as a MIME-encoded PostScript document as default.
CALLIDn
is equivalent to the nth call identification parameter
CIDNAME
is equivalent to CALLID2 above.
CIDNUMBER
is equivalent to CALLID1 above.
DEVICE is equivalent to device above.
FILETYPE
controls the filetype of the image attachment. Current filetype
options are ``ps'', ``tif'', and ``pdf''. Multiple values may
be specified by separating them with whitespace. In that case a
separate attachment is created for each filetype.
FROMADDR
controls the sender of the received fax notification. It is
given as an e-mail address.
MSG is equivalent to error-msg above.
NOTIFY_FAXMASTER
(an underscore ``_'' character is between NOTIFY and FAXMASTER)
indicates whether or not the HylaFAX administrator should be
notified regarding incoming facsimile. Default is ``always''.
Also available are ``never'', which means to never send any
received facsimile notification, and ``errors'', which means to
send notification only if there were reception errors.
SENDER is the received TSI of the fax sender.
SENDTO controls the recipient of the received fax notification. It is
given as an e-mail address, and it's value will be passed
directly to the MTA for delivery as well as being inserted into
the email. If you want to send to multiple receipients in
seperate messages set the variable SENDTO1...SENDTOn in addition
to SENDTO. faxrcvd will process additional SENDTOn variables
starting at 1, and stopping at the first empty SENDTOn variable
it finds. The templates should continue to reference $SENDTO,
and faxrcvd will make sure it get's set correctly as the tem‐
plate is processed for each one.
SUBADDR
the received subaddress value, communicated by the sender for
post-reception routing purposes
TEMPLATE
the template subdirectory to use when sending e-mails. HylaFAX
ships with a base set of templates, and some direct transla‐
tions. To use the German translated templates, set TEMPLATE=de
in FaxDispatch. This is relative to the base template direc‐
tory.
Other shell variables are available. Consult the faxrcvd script
directly.
