I have set up an oungoing fax server using Hylafax on SuSE 9.3
Everything seems to be fine, except that it never sends the faxes. Clients can submit faxes to the queue, but then the faxes just sit there. The queue is never processed.
Any idea what could be wrong or where to start looking?

http://www.hylafax.org/troubleshooting.html is my first stop when troubleshooting hylafax. This should also be in /usr/share/doc/packages. What steps have you taken to verify the modem is working, hfaxd is running, faxstat's output is what, etc. Check the log files for hylafax because the answer is probably there.
The problem was that we only have an outbound service. I had to run 'faxmodem ttyS0'. Once that has been run, the faxes in the queue gets sent. Problem now is, how do you get the the modem started when the box or Hylafax start? When I reboot the box, I have to log in and run the faxmodem command again. As a workaround, I added the faxmodem command to the hylafax init script, but what is the correct way of doing it? -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
