    OS: Debian 6.0.3 i386
    Avantfax: 3.3.3
    Apache: 2.2.16
    mailer-daemon: postfix

    I have successfully got Avantfax installed and it works but I was trying to setup the mail2fax feature. I installed Avantfax from scratch without using any scripts. I read the guide here but it was for an older version of Debian, which didn't apply to the newer version of avantfax and Debian that I was using. I ended up using this guide to install it:

    http://www.alessandro-pensato.it/in...ze-hylafaxavantfax&catid=11:appunti&Itemid=69

    I also read that there is a script in the source package called setup-postfix.sh but when I run it, I get this error:

    root@hylafax:/usr/src/avantfax-3.3.3# ./setup-postfix.sh
    ./setup-postfix.sh: 7: email2fax.txt: not found

    postfix is already the newest version.
    The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
    libpq5
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

    This is the script itself (setup-postfix.sh):

    # This script will configure postfix for email to fax
    # Only run once
    #

    email2fax.txt

    # INSTALL REQUIRED APPS IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED

    echo "Installing required packages"

    yum -y install postfix || yast --install postfix || apt-get install postfix

    # CONFIGURE POSTFIX

    /sbin/service postfix stop

    echo "Configuring Email to FAX for domain ${FAXDOMAIN}"

    cat >> /etc/postfix/master.cf << EOF
    fax unix - n n - 1 pipe
    flags= user=$FAXMAILUSER argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n -NT \${user}

    EOF

    echo -e "${FAXDOMAIN}\tfax:localhost" >> /etc/postfix/transport
    echo -e "transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport\nfax_destination_recipient_limit = 1" >> /etc/postfix/main.cf

    postmap /etc/postfix/transport

    ========================

    Email2fax.txt file:

    root@hylafax:/usr/src/avantfax-3.3.3# pico email2fax.txt
    GNU nano 2.2.4 File: email2fax.txt

    # This is the configuration file for Email 2 FAX
    # Edit your domain name below and save this file
    # before launching the scripts named below
    #
    # To setup Postfix run: ./setup-postfix.sh
    # To setup Sendmail run: ./setup-sendmail.sh

    FAXDOMAIN=hylafax.localdomain.local

    # This user account must exist in your authentication system (ie. PAM, /etc/passwd, LDAP)
    # in order for the Postfix configuration to work (ie. uucp).
    # NOTE: Be sure to also set this value in local_config.php
    # DEBIAN users may want to set this to faxmaster for postfix installs
    FAXMAILUSER=faxmail

    ========================

    This is how my /etc/postfix/main.cf looks like after running the script:

    root@hylafax:/usr/src/avantfax-3.3.3# pico /etc/postfix/main.cf
    GNU nano 2.2.4 File: /etc/postfix/main.cf

    # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version


    # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
    # line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
    # is /etc/mailname.
    #myorigin = /etc/mailname

    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
    biff = no

    # appending .domain is the MUA's job.
    append_dot_mydomain = no

    # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
    #delay_warning_time = 4h

    readme_directory = no

    # TLS parameters
    smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
    smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
    smtpd_use_tls=yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
    smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

    # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
    # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

    myhostname = hylafax.localdomain.local
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    myorigin = /etc/mailname
    mydestination = hylafax.localdomain.local, localhost.localdomain.local, localhost
    # relayhost = smtp.localdomain.local
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
    mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
    mailbox_size_limit = 0
    recipient_delimiter = +
    inet_interfaces = all
    -e transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
    fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1

    ========================

    and this is the /etc/postfix/transport file:

    root@hylafax:/usr/src/avantfax-3.3.3# pico /etc/postfix/transport
    GNU nano 2.2.4 File: /etc/postfix/transport

    -e fax:localhost

    It looks like the script isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing, which is adding entries to the /etc/postfix/main.cf and creating the /etc/postfix/transport file. I couldn't figure out how to get it working, so I deleted the created entries to keep my avantfax working. I created a local user called faxmail for the script as well.

    Does anyone know how to setup Avantfax to do mail2fax with debian 6.0 and postfix? I can't find any documentation on how to get this done and no one seems to be having this problem. Thanks
