sendfax does not send fax

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

don't send *list* mails to "mgetty-*request*" (this is the address to put
you on the list).

Anyway, to diagnose this, you need to include the relevant part from
"sendfax.log". Without this, I can't say what happened.

Second, maybe you should try this manually with a fax "nearby", without 
using "cron" and doing this over night, until you know that it works.
After each test fax, check immediately with the "sendfax.log" and the
receiving machine, to see what's going on.
