Zimbra - Hylafax together

[denmat]

Let's pretend I don't know anything about hylafax and zimbra...

Have others combined the two together and if so how? I have only recently been looking at zimbra and I have never touched hylafax and so thinking off the top of my head what would be easier in these scenarios.

A zimlet that a user drags an email message onto, that then parses the info and sends a request to hylafax, or, to set up aliases and a cronjob that uses fetchmail to parse the emails and then send to hylafax like a similar forum post suggested for pager queries?

With the second way I see problems of telling zimbra what to do with the mail and with the first problems with writing the zimlet..

Any suggestions on what would be more eaily achieveable?

Hi & welcome..

It is indeed a good idea. A bit similar to asterisk pabx zimlets but different in functions.

Might as well move this thred to Zimlets thread here

it should not be a problem to do it, pushing faxsimile to hylafax is just a breeze, the problem is to proper handle the result of sending fax (the transmission).

I think that a zimlet is possible, what level of integration is desired? i think that Fax would to be a new function for the clients, such as mail, contacts or wiki, and the integration with Hylafax would be too simply as the new window for configuration in admin panel, is it reasonable? for me is possible, For now many clients work with traditional fax and this integration would be a good feature, or not?

Im trying to integrate hylafax and ZCS, according to mail to fax in hylafax with postfix,
but in this documentation in main.cf i need that this part of configuration is incluided
"transport_maps = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport", but when i restart postfix this line dissapear and dont charge this configuration, Help me please.. i trying with this .. I have Hylafax in other server and my idea is maybe redirect mails by smtp or by the mailfax function.

Hi Community, i need to configure mail to fax with zimbra and hylafax. my hylafax server is ready and working, my Zimbra is working too, im reading the documentation for to configure postfix with the faxmail for to send the mails to hylafax.
the procedure is it:
the account is My_fax_Number@fax.your.domain
with hylafax installed in the ZCS server as client for hylafax server.
1. edit the transport file:
/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport:
fax.your.domain fax:hylafax_server (or localhost)
postconf transport (I execute this command)
2. edit my main.cf file /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf:
transport_maps = ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf, hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport
fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1
3. edit my master.cf
/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf//master.cf:
fax unix - n n - 1 pipe
flags= user=fax argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n ${user}
4. edit my /etc/hylafax/hyla.conf, and I enable the hostname for hylafax server:
Host: My_IP_Server,

When I have all ready and restart the postfix, the file main.cf mantain the the line transport_maps = ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf
and dont charge my hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport.

Please say me what I do?
or Who would helpme.

1. edit the transport file:
/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport:
fax.your.domain fax:hylafax_server (or localhost)
postconf transport (I execute this command)

do you mean postmap transport ?

2. edit my main.cf file /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf:
transport_maps = ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf, hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport
fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1

edit localconfig.xml instead of main.cf, because this file is always rewrite by zimbra. create new "key" in localconfig.xml (in this case, create "postfix_transport_maps")
/opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml

like this:

  <key name="postfix_transport_maps">
    <value>hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/transport, ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf</value>
  </key>
