Title: RE: [hylafax-users] Hylafax + Asterisk and External MTA mail2fax configuration issue

Thanks for your reply Lee, here is the correct link:

http://www.julianmenendez.es/documentos/asterisk_hylafax_iaxmodem

I also asked that guy about this and he posted a new howto but using Postfix:

http://www.julianmenendez.es/pasarela_email2fax_hylafax_postfix/

And actually the only thing that i want is for my MTA to be able to invoque the faxing utilities when it receives an email addressed to FAXNUMBER@mydomain and send it to FAXNUMBER; it will be the end users' responsibility to type correctly the destination. Also this service will have a dedicated MTA daemon running so i dont have to make any distinctions whatsoever.

Thanks

I've never done it with exim or qmail, but I've done it many, many times
with sendmail and postfix.  But, before we go into all of that - I think
that it would be useful if you could explain what kind of approach you
want to take with how the actual fax number is provided by the sender. 
There are many different ways that it's done... and each way will
require slightly different things of how you configure it.

If your users are going to be sending faxes from many different
locations and relaying their fax-bound-email through all kinds of mail
servers, then it may be wise to understand that many of the mail-to-fax
methods that you'll read about cannot apply to that scenario.

So let's talk about what you're after, in approach, anyway - and then we
can talk about how to get there.
