Well the python script checks gmail and there is no local mail server and I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, would it be possible to use originate command to dial an extension in the dial plan where I could try and make call camping work. I just recently started using the originate command so have not much of an idea on how I can make it dial an extension in the dial plan where it can also feed the fax number to dial along probably using variables.
Is it possible to originate to an extension called send_fax with condition to match dialed number as fax in the default dial plan?

One possibility is to implement retries and timeout in the mail transport. When your python script detects a busy signal, have it exit with EX_TEMPFAIL, which will cause the mail process to retry after a while.

hi,

i have created a custom script in python which extracts PDF files and phone number from email and then converts them to tiffs and all this works well, now i made the script send the originate command to FS which connects to a a PSTN gateway device and this device dials out the number and when answered it bridges to the originate command channel. The problem i face is how do we make the txfax application in the originate command wait till it gets a fax tone from the called party then try to send its fax? second issue is suppose if the PSTN line was busy and the device rejected the call from FS, how do we configure camping so FS tries a few times before failing finally?

i tried adding the camping variables to the originate command but they dont seems to work at all, my main aim is to make the originate command initiate the call from FS to PSTN number using that gateway device and if the outgoing line is busy or the remote line is busy then try a few more times at regular intervals and also attempt to send fax only when there is a fax tone detected from the remote end
