It would depend upon the client software that you're using.  This 
setting is usually (almost always) communicated to the server by the 
client.  So if the user does not specify the setting to the client, then 
the client will usually just send its default setting.  Any default 
setting on the server-side (whatever it is) would almost always then be 
superceded by it.

What fax client are you using for your email-to-fax process?  sendfax 
scripted?  faxmail?

I don't think that you want to set WHY to anything... otherwise you 
interfere with things.  Normally you'd only use $WHY to perform 
program-path decisions, etc.
