[Freeswitch-users] Fax result when using mail to fax

[Bipin Patel]

hi,

well considering im running this FS on the raspberry pi for a small 
office, ESL would be like a lot just for the purpose, if the console can 
display the fax result then why isnt it possible to get the same in 
dialplan or somewhere else where i can fire a script or something and 
let the sender know what happened to their fax.

i tried using execute_on_fax_success and execute_on_fax_failure but they 
dont seem to work while sending a fax, i think its for receiving only



Regards,
Bipin
