Not according to the man page for sendfax where it clearly says of the -d
option

"If the destination is of the form ``user@phone-number'' then any cover
page will show user as the intended receipient."

You might be correct but that would violate the documented use of the -d
option as above. Also doesn't explain why when I used the -c option, as
mentioned in the original report, part of the argument is used in the
error message. Same with the -r option. Also the -f option but that wasn't
mentioned in the original report.

If that's the case then the error reporting functions of HylaFAX are
crap.
