[hylafax-users] How to implement mail-to-fax service?

[Tony Groves <tongrov@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm new to Hylafax and am trying to set up a mail-to-fax service for my
users, where they send messages with PDF attachments to a fax mailbox
and require that the message body and headers be inserted into a
corporate cover-page and faxed along with the pages of the PDF
attachment(s).

Now, the mail-delivery program can determine the fax number and pass the
message to Hylafax for processing, but this is where I'm stuck. I can
see that "sendfax" will compose a fax perfectly if it's given the
required header information and attachment filenames; and I can see that
"faxmail" will compose an ASCII cover-page from an e-mail message but
ignore attachments. So it looks like what I would have to do is have the
mail-delivery program (which is written in Perl) parse the message, save
the attachments to files and pass the headers and attachment filenames
to "sendfax". That sounds like quite a bit of work, with potential
pitfalls; so I'm wondering does anybody have any better suggestions as
to how I might achieve what I'm looking for?

Thanks a lot.

Tony.
