I'm not sure if this is a problem with Hylafax or FreeBSD, this is why I'm posting to both lists. (Very sorry about this) My setup is a stock FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE system. The version of sendmail included in this distribution is 8.8.5. I am using HylaFAX 4.0pl1. I'm trying to set up the mail2fax gateway on HylaFAX. I am using the script as given in the HylaFAQ (Q6.1: "Where to find mailfax.sh for sendmail?") I have this script installed in /usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax, as instructed, and have added the "MAILER(fax)" construct to my sendmail .mc file. I rebuilt my sendmail.cf, installed it, and restarted sendmail. However, when I send a test fax of the form "[someone]@[phonenumber.fax" I get the error "Cannot exec /usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax: Exec format error" The script is indeed in that directory, and is executable, and has the proper "#!/bin/sh" as the first line. I tried chown'ing it to various users and groups (root, daemon, wheel, etc.) and trying different permissions on the file, in case it is some security thing, but nothing works. Here is an example mail session: [dburr@voyager:117]% mail -v dburr@18004925954.fax Subject: test test . Cc: dburr@18004925954.fax... Connecting to 18004925954 via fax... Cannot exec /usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax: Exec format error dburr@18004925954.fax... Service unavailable /home/dburr/dead.letter... Saved message in /home/dburr/dead.letter Can anyone shed some light on this? Please e-mail if possible. Thanks!
