Not sure why, but ok... :-)

Hmmm... I suspect the easiest way to handle this would be to use
fetchmail to retrieve the mail from the popbox, have it hand off to
procmail, and teach procmail to forward the messages in question to the
mail2fax gateway.  It's fairly straightforward, but there will be a
*lot* of fiddling details.

Is that enough hint, or do you need more details?

(Oh, and if you get it working, write up an application note for us.  :-)
