[hylafax-users] Re: Mailfax Gateway, which Rewriting rule should be use?

[George Liu <gliu@3inet.com>]

Hi Gregory:

Thank you very much for your help. My real host is nova.red.3ilinux.com, and
my supposed fax-related host name is mail0.red.3ilinux.com that also has an
A record. The IP of the both host names is 209.184.180.135. 

After I changed your suggested rule (Ruleset 96 in the bottom half of
ruleset 3), all mails to mail0.red.3ilinux.com go to nova.red.3ilinux.com.
Even in my test case. 

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
George

gliu> I want to use faxmail to deliver an email from the address like
gliu> 1233@fax.myrealdomain to the fax number 1233 via george@1233.FAX.
The
gliu> pseudo-domain FAX is default in hylafax as MUA fax. I re-wrote the
gliu> ruleset 3 in sendmail.cf with the following

gliu> R$-@fax.myrealdomain 	< george @ $1 .FAX. >

This doesn't look correct.  Assuming you are using m4 to generate a
sendmail.cf and *NOT* hand editing your .cf file, it should be:

LOCAL_RULE_3
R$+ < @ fax.myrealdomain . >	$: george < @ $1 . FAX . >

gliu> That works in testing rule :   sendmail -bt 

gliu> And also works for sending fax from the localhost : localhost#
mail
gliu> 1234

gliu> But it doesn't work for receiving emails outside the localhost.
The
gliu> destination goes to local delivery instead of fax delivery.

Sounds like you didn't restart the running daemon so it is using an
older
configuration.

Of course, you didn't give us real data so we can't check if DNS is
setup
properly.
