SOLVED Incredible Fax Issues with 13-13

[Eliad]

I installed a fresh Full Enchilada and IncredibleFax on Centos 6.9. I have a problem with AvantFax. I can send faxes ok. When I am to receive a fax, AvantFax shows it is receiving a fax, when finished there is nothing in the AvantFax Inbox. I thought I am supposed to get the fax in the Inbox . Am I wrong? Is it sending it just to the email? Am I missing something?

Of course my ISP blocks the emails from my system. I just applied sendmail instructions from Nerdvittles and does not seem to work for me.

I searched the logs referring to AvantFax and this is what I found. I do not know how to fix it though

Did you reboot? Try issuing command: iptables-restart which also resets permissions for AvantFax. Also try: /root/iaxmodem-restart

 

[Eliad]

iptables-restart was the command needed. Now it receives the faxes. Thank you.

 

[Eliad]

after reboot fax does not work again. I have to manually reissue iptables-restart.
Is there a way to change the AvantFax cover letter? I tried to edit the html cover page and it seems this page is pooling data from somewhere else.

Check /etc/rc.d/rc.local. It should look like this:

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
sleep 5
fwconsole restart
sleep 5
/usr/local/sbin/iptables-restart
$(which faxgetty) -D ttyIAX0
$(which faxgetty) -D ttyIAX1
$(which faxgetty) -D ttyIAX2
$(which faxgetty) -D ttyIAX3
exit 0

/etc/rc.d/rc.local had
fwconsole restart was after iptables restart, also had sleep 10. I changed the order and changed sleep to 5 and now AvantFax works after a reboot.

Any suggestions on where to look for the AvantFax cover sheet editing?

Search the forum. Lots of threads about AvantFax coversheets. Search for coversheet and then cover sheet and then cover page to get all the results.
