pollrcvd8hylafax

Overview

bin/pollrcvd is the command script invoked by the HylaFAX server whenever a facsimile is received as a result of a polling operation. The default script uses electronic mail to deliver the facsimile to the user that submitted the poll request. The arguments are:

mailaddr

the electronic mail address of the user that submitted the poll request.

faxfile

the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy.

commid

The communication identifier associated with the call (used to include a transcript when an error occurs).

devid

the modem device on which the document was received.

error-msg

an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered during the receive operation.

Notes

The default script delivers facsimile as PostScript wrapped in MIME.
