HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server |
I recently installed hylafax-v4.0pl1 on Digital Unix v4.0. It seems to work fine. I set up faxmail according to the instructions in faxmail/mailfax.sh-sendmail and that works fine too. What I would like to do is be able to send a fax from any machine on my local network by sending e-mail to the faxserver machine. To send a fax locally, the way it is setup I use: mail 1234567@user.fax from the local faxserver node, "wiscpa." I naively thought that the way to send a fax from another node, sy "wiscpg," would be to: mail 1234567%user.fax@wiscpa and indeed, looking through the archives I found a reply from Sam Leffler to a similar query entitled: "bang path faxmailing?" in which he proposes the following solution: You can use "user%number.fax@machine.domain.net" (whether you use user%number or number%user is just a question of how you modified sendmail.cf). But doing that, my mail is returned, unsent (see below). What am I missing here? Is it a configuration problem? Is it a permissions problem? I admit that I know almost nothing about configuring sendmail.
