flexfax: Linux faxmail sendmail.cf howto

[Andrew CROKE <andrew.croke@awamarine.com.au>]

Hi,

I have been stuffing around lately and this is what worked for me with
Linux (Slackware)



1. Get the m4 macro package.

2. In the sendmail src dirctory, edit the .mc file that best suits your
system. 

I am using:
   /usr/src/sendmail/cf/cf/linux.nodns-smtp.mc

and have edited it.

Which looks like:

include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`linux for smtp-only setup')dnl
OSTYPE(linux)
FEATURE(nodns)dnl
FEATURE(nouucp)dnl
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(fax)
MAILER(smtp)dnl

The line MAILER(fax) was all I had to add to get a working sendmail.cf
and the way to send a fax is 
user@123254345.FAX 
as discussed in various emails in the archives.

Quote from the Slackware README file in /usr/src/sendmail

>If you want to install a new configuration file, do as root
>"m4 linux.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf", where linux.mc is one of the 
>config files or a new one by yourself.

Cheers,
