hi there


I setup my faxserver and used it for a few month now.

suddenly it stopped sending to my email the PDF files like it used to.


we did not change anything, fax is receiving correctly and reporting back to the other side OK status.


we have lost also this way a few fax messages.


1. how can i fix this

2. where are these lost faxes stored?


thanks

George

Hello @georgi0

The folder for Faxes is C:\ProgramData\3CX\Instance1\Data\Fax\Faxes for windows and /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Fax/Faxes for linux.
Check there and see if the Faxes are actually arriving. Do emails work on the system? Can you receive a welcome email for example?
 
thanks. i found out i had issues with my regular email and SSL new setup.
i used gmail and problem was solved.

thanks.
 
however, all fax between period are lost. (not stored in location you provided)
 
The location is for Faxes that were successfully received. If the fax was received by the PBX then the Fax would be in one of those folders depending if the PBX was successful is sending it or not. If the Fax is not in one of those folders then the fax was not successfully received by the PBX (or were deleted by someone).
Glad to see that the email is now working. I would recommend keeping a eye on the issue and let us know if you have any more issues with this so we can take a look.
