What? (Scratch head?) No. The "mailer" is either the Mail User Agent, such as pine or Netscape, that handles your personal mail, or the Mail Transport Agent, that actually bounces mail around between various people. In you case, the MTA is sendmail with procmail added. Set up procmail for the *fax* user, and have procmail handle shipping off the fax jobs, I think. > On the other hand, I might be able to use procmail if I create a shell > script for the fax mailer (instead of calling faxmail directly). Bingo. Have procmail call faxmail. Nico Garcia Senior Engineer, CIRL Mass.
