(Solution for Windows clients only for faxing via printer) If you used samba and fixed IP addresses and each user would use their own PC, you could create a printer in samba that mapped back to a script and would determine the correct email address based on the IP address from the submitting machine. If your users are using different machines and you are using MS Active Directory (assuming still that all your fax clients are using Windows), you could ensure that the user's email addresses are entered into their AD account, and then use samba-tng to get the current user name from the registry of the IP address that printed to the fax printer, and then use samba/samba-tng to query the AD to get the user's email address (haven't done the email address query part but should be possible). Either way, the samba printer script could run a 'sendfax -D' with the email address that it found by the 'IP --> email' mapping or the 'IP --> Win user name --> AD --> email' query. Neither way will work if your users are using Terminal Services to run their print/fax from. -----Original Message----- From: hylafax-users-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:hylafax-users-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of joea Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 5:11 PM To: hylafax-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [hylafax-users] FaxNotify, sendfax, I gleaned the following from the archives: " Query? Is there anything else I have to do beside creating FaxNotify file in /var/spool/fax/etc to get notification of faxes sent? Ans: The job has to be submitted with notification request. For example, using 'sendfax -D'.". So, *my* query is . . . if submitting FAX via a FAX "printer" ("clientless" setting") how does one do this? Can one get notifications sent if simply using a FAX printer? And, of course, my most recent other post comes into play. Isn't there a way to make notifications a default behavior? Signed . . . .
