The awk script is not compatible with the /usr/bin/awk in the base system and only works with the gawk port. >How-To-Repeat: Install the comms/hylafax port, then: # /var/spool/hylafax/bin/notify doneq/q19 done 60 /usr/bin/awk: illegal primary in regular expression * at source line number 37 context is >>> gsub("*","",status) <<< ; [: -gt: unexpected operator sendmail: fatal: No recipient addresses found in message header >Fix: The temporary fix is to install the lang/gawk port, then manually edit /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache and change the AWK path to point to the gawk executable. The permanent fix is to make comms/hylafax dependent on lang/gawk and then ensure that gawk gets selected as the awk program as part of configure. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
