[asterisk-users] Setup ReceiveFax(), fax2mail, mime-construct - but now Sendmail :(
Using 1.6 on Fedora Core 9 I'm trying to receive faxes. I've got this
far:
[incoming-fax]
exten =>
s,1,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d%H%M)}-0${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,2,ReceiveFAX(${FAXFILE}.tif)
exten => s,3,Hangup()
exten=>h,1,System(/usr/local/bin/fax2mail --cid-number
"0${CALLERIDNUM}"
--cid-name "home fax" --dest-name "admin" --dest-email
"${admin_email}"
-f "${FAXFILE}")
which all seems work well on the CLI. No errors.
fax2mail uses mime-contruct to send the fax by sendmail. That didn't work.
No email. /var/log/maillog:
Dec 19 21:04:53 asterisk sendmail[2628]: mBH2mWvQ006043:
to=<admin at myco.com>, ctladdr=<root at localhost.localdomain>

delay=2+23:16:09, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=6640305,
relay=mx01.1and1.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out
with mx01.1and1.com.

I've avoided MTA's like sendmail for a _long_ time. So I need help.
1. Is this the right list to try to resolve this? If not, which list?
2. postfix seems to considered much easier to configure than sendmail.
Do I install postfix? If so, will this work out of the box?
3. If sendmail, what's the magic configuration?

You don't really need to use any local MTA if you use the sendEmail
script.
I got it from - http://www.caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/
This actually works by 'talking' directly to any SMTP server - even
remote ones (I use our Exchange server for our e-mails).
