Re: flexfax: Printing outgoing faxes

Hi,

I was thinking along the lines of:

Assuming you haven't changed the default behaviour of notifying the fax
sender, create a .forward file in the sender's home directory containing
the single line

|/usr/bin/procmail

Likewise, create a .procmailrc containing

MSGNO=`formail -xSubject: |cut -f4`
PSFILE=/var/spool/fax/docq/doc$MSGNO.ps
PRINTED=`lpr $PSFILE`


Both of these should be owned by the sender, mode 600. You may need to
chmod go-w the home directory.

No. But you can use the option -d to keep the archive in check.
