I posted yesterday regarding asterisk complaining requirecalltoken=no
needed to be added to my iax.conf; which it already was. I updated
asterisk to the latest release: 13.8.2. I'm sure now that asterisk was
reporting the error incorrectly.

I'm now getting the following error, which I did see yesterday while I
was manipulating /etc/asterisk/iax.conf:

asterisk console:

DIAL 62452329: Where is hylafax getting this from? The number is grossly
incorrect, but the context fax is correct.
As you can see it's the same number asterisk is using to open an iax2
channel, but its only 8 characters, so asterisk is rejecting the number.
My dedicated fax number is 228XXXXXXX.

I configured mail2fax as follows:
Grabbed mail2fax.sh from here:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/misc/mail2fax.sh

Installed it and configured my already running/working postfix as per
these instructions:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/faxing.php

added "transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport" to
/etc/postfix/main.cf
created /etc/postfix/transport: added "fax.mydomainname.com
fax:localhost"
ran: postmap /etc/postfix/transport

added "alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases" to alias_database =
hash:/etc/aliases
created postfix /etc/aliases: added "mail2fax: |/usr/bin/mail2fax.sh"
ran: newaliases
verified: /etc/aliases.db

created FaxDispatch, added following alias:
SENDTO=***@mydomainname.com;
FILETYPE=tiff;
NOTIFY_FAXMASTER=errors;

created fax email alias via postfixadmin
added second domain fax.mydomainname.com
created fax.mydomainname.com cname record in dns.

I can receive faxes. I verified with a free online service. I just cant
send.


Thanks for your help.

Apparently it's coming from the mail2fax.sh script that you're using.

You're going to need to examine the mails that you're sending to the
mail2fax.sh script. There should be some debugging options in it if you
look at the script. I'm guessing that you're sending it some e-mail
that has something in the "To:" field that is a word or name or
something that is getting converted to numbers via dialrules.

Thanks,

Lee.
