You could try this .....

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# (Pd) 2007 by AJS
use strict;
my $last_arg = pop || die "Way too few arguments";
my $filename = pop || die "Too few arguments";
my @options = @ARGV;
if (open FH, "<$filename") {
    while ($_ = <FH>) {
        if (!(/^\s*$) && !(/^\s*[#;]/)) {
            s/\D//g;
            system "sendfax", @options, "-d $_", $last_arg;
        };
    };
    close FH;
    exit 0;
};
exit 1;

Save it in /usr/bin/ and chmod it 775.  Invoke it with all the usual sendfax 
options; but omit any -d option.  The last two arguments must be the file 
containing a list of recipient numbers  (one per line, can include blank 
lines and comments),  and the file to send by fax.
