Hello, I was wondering if the following was possible: When somebody sends a fax to my direct number 0101234567105 (my extension will be 105) is it possible that Asterisk, or an addon sees this as a fax, and e-mail the fax to me? So everybody with a private extension will be able to receive faxes in his e-mailbox on his direct number. Any pointers would be highly appreciated! Thanks, Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20100317/3b8a4c17/attachment.htm

Are you using T.38?

Enable fax detection on the inbound channel, e.g. sip.conf: ; FAX detection will cause the SIP channel to jump to the 'fax' extension (if it exists) ; when a CNG tone is detected on an incoming call. ; ; faxdetect = yes ; Default false chan_dahdi.conf: ; For fax detection, uncomment one of the following lines. The default is *OFF* ; ;faxdetect=both ;faxdetect=incoming ;faxdetect=outgoing ;faxdetect=no Further, put a "fax" extension in the context where you handle the fax, e.g. forward to Hylafax are receive directly with ReceiveFAX(). IIRc the originaly dialed number will be written in the variable FAXEXTEN. Thus, you can send the fax to the respective email address based on FAXEXTEN. regards klaus> > Any pointers would be highly appreciated! > > Thanks, > Peter >

Is this a common thing people ask for? I've always thought 'send a fax with a cover sheet' to a general number was good enough. As for the rest of it, you can convert a tiff from SpanDSP into a PDF using a linux utility like tiff2pdf, and it's your call how best you want to set up an automail utility.
