problems with sendfax -i



We are successfully running hylafax 4.0p12 on a FreeBSD machine using
a recommended multitech modem.  I am unable to get the -i option to
work with the sendfax command.  The -i option is documented to do the
following:

 -i identifier
                   Use the identifier string in any  notification
                   messages  instead  of the usual job identifier
                   number.  This option is  useful  for  applica-
                   tions  that  cross reference notification mes-
                   sages against job submissions.

I understand that commands for sendfax MUST be in a particular order,
but have tried various combinations from the command line to no avail.

Examples:

sendfax -n -i 7892 -d 8220666 /home/paden/foo.ps
request id is 48 (group id 48) for host localhost (1 file)

sendfax -i 7893 -n -d 8220666 /home/paden/foo.ps
request id is 49 (group id 48) for host localhost (1 file)

I am expecting the request id to show up as 7892 or 7893.  Perhaps I
am misunderstand the documtation?

faxstat after submission of the above jobs yields:

bash-2.03# faxstat -d

49   127 D   root 8220666       1:1   1:12

Here I am expected the JID to show up as 7892 or 7893 as well.

Please copy replies to paden@ebody.com as I am not a memeber of the list.
