Not a version thing is it? Like you need something like php7.0-mbstring or something similar?

Hey @MTR did you ever get the queue cleared?

Anyone ever get this going? Like the rest I can't seem to get faxes processed through the queue. I get Fusion to process theema il but then it stops there. Sending through the web interface works perfect.

I was able to get this going and posted the steps on the below forum post.

If you disable send_mode, then the email retrieval stops working.

What we're wanting is both email retrieval and sending faxes to work

The retrieval is done by the cron job and should not have anything to do with the send_mode setting.

I have the cron setup, if I disable send_mode, the email is retrieved by pop3, but nothing happens with it. It doesn't appear in the queue, or get sent
