Using -i will pass that value to the notify script which you need to
enable.

We capture the ID when we send the fax, using sendfax it reports the fax
id back to STDOUT, we capture that and stuff it into a DBM file along with
the name so we can reference it later.  After the status comes back we use
the DBM file to translate it back to the name and then delete the entry
from the DBM file.
