Re: [hylafax-users] How to set email2fax with exim (or procmail?)?

["Michael Stowe" <mstowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm pretty surprised that there's somebody who exists who uses ssh/mutt
for email and is *not* a programmer.

That being said, the constaint to build an email->FAX gateway without
scripting is one that I don't know a way around.  Procmail is certainly
capable of running the requisite scripts under a dedicated user account,
but the details of how to (for example) specify the fax number aren't
standardized, and therefore, people tend to roll their own scripts based
on their own constraints.  There are a few people who have written their
own who may have documented or released their solutions, but I haven't
seen or tried them.  For example:
