Mail to fax gateway



Hi,

I have installed hylafaxv4.0pl1 on a Sparc machine running Solaris 2.6.
On the Windows98 PC client, I have installed whfc.  Everything is
working fine.  I'm able to send fax from PC and receive fax on the
Hylafax server.

However, we need to integrate Hylafax with an application which can
only issue email request i.e. send fax to Hylafax via email from the
PC clients.  I read the documentation that comes with the hylafax
binary distrbution and it mentioned something called
faxmail/mailfax.sh-sendmail.  Where can I find it?

According to the documentation, after faxmail is correctly installed,
mail to user@dest.fax will get formatted and submitted as a fax job to
user at the specified destination "dest".  Is it true that this email
addressing only works if mail is sent from another Unix mail client?
If I am sending email using the above addressing style without specifying
the mail host, how can it tell where to send the fax to the fax server?
I'll expect the email address should be something like :
user@dest.fax.faxserver.com etc.

Please, any advise is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Sandie
