Fax to email not working

rgsmith · January 10, 2013, 2:21am

I have tried to get fax to email working. Running FreePBX Version 1.818.210.62-1 with a digium TE420 and PRI’s. Here is the log from the CLI. Not sure where it is failing. It looks like it does create the tif file. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the output of fax show stats. From it, it looks like they completed but I never did get an email.

The first thing I would check is:

can you system send email at all?

If so, then check the mail logs to see if there is any evidence of the fax message getting into the mail system.

I am a newbie to asterisk and I am not sure how to check mail logs. How can I make sure if it can send email? I tried to telnet to port 25 to our mail server but telnet is not found.

You will need to log into the Linux command line of your server. Once you are logged in try sending an email with the mail command.

The mail logs on Centos are stored in /var/log/maillog

you can use the tail -f command to have the log displayed in one log in session and use a second log in to send the mail.

Tried setting up with a gmail account and this is what I am getting in the logs now.

Jan 11 06:39:18 localhost postfix/smtp[29293]: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found
Jan 11 06:39:18 localhost postfix/smtp[29293]: 28195ADA1BE: to=[email protected], relay=smtp.gmail.com[74.125.134.108]:587, delay=204380, delays=204380/0.02/0.68/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server smtp.gmail.com[74.125.134.108]: no mechanism available)

Any ideas of why the warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found?

I just want to throw my hat in here. I set up all the FreePBX fax destinations correctly and was able to receive a fax once. After that, it seems that the send2fax.php is getting called but I never get an email. Checked the maillog and it doesn’t look like it getting anything. Voicemail emails work fine so it’s not an email issue.

Any insight would be great.
