Re: [hylafax-users] Problem with Mail-to-fax gateway

No, it can't handle pdf's as attachments, but it can do a postscript
attachment.  
You can read about it in 'man faxmail'.

Unless there's a requirement for bulk / automated faxes then I'd just
use sambafax.  That way sending a fax is as easy as hitting the print
button from whatever program I'm working in.

I'd also make sure  the .fax pseudodomain is properly configured  in 
"sendmail.cf".  It is a line:
"CPFAX"
