Ok Michael, let's see my solution I've worked out with some googling
and a good friend today:

Base are the scripts on http://xtronics.com/exim/index.htm

For me (exim4) this works:


/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/40_exim4-hylafax-gateway

######################################################################
# TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES NOT MATTER #
# Only one appropriate transport is called for each delivery. #
######################################################################

# A transport is used only when referenced from a director or a router
# that successfully handles an address.

#These configure  for sending of fax for email
fax:
driver = pipe
user = faxmaster
command ="/usr/bin/faxmail -n -d ${local_part}@${extract{1}{.}{$domain}}"
home_directory = /tmp
use_shell = true

and a file


/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/050_exim4-hylafax-gateway

######################################################################
# ROUTERS CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies how remote addresses are handled #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES MATTER #
# A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. #
######################################################################

fax:
driver = manualroute
transport = fax
route_list ="*.fax"


Then in mutt writing a fax with address someone@xxxxxxxxxxx is sending
the fax to number 1234567.

Wow:-)


ciao, Dirk
