We use commercial fax server software, so I'm not familiar with mgetty, courierfax, etc. but we had file size issues at first, too. Things improved greatly when we switched the the fax server to use PDF format to email the fax.

A sourceforge.net search shows "fax2pdf" - perhaps it could be used within mgetty instead of the double piping currently done...

I have having a problem with the inbound faxes having a bitmap size that is 24 in by approx 31 in.

I have dug into the scripts and found that two program do the processing when g3topbm and pnmtopng these then pipe the results to makemime and send the user e-mail. My guess is this is where things get converted incorrectly but I have dug through the man pages and there don't seem to be any relevant configuration options.

I don't have an answer, but I also have this problem which makes the inbound faxes practically useless.

Has anyone come up with a solution?
