Hi,

is there a way to send a fax directly to a recipient using only one fax number and send it through email to the correct address?

I say, send a fax to /user1/ to the number /xxxxxxxxx/
then hylafax process it and send it by email to user1@xxxxxxxxxx
Then send another fax to the same number xxxxxxxx but to a different person
then hylafax sent it by email to user2@xxxxxxxxxxx


How is HylaFAX supposed to be able to tell when a fax is sent to user1 or user2?

Lee.



I suppose you could pick the receiver from the sendq or doneq by:
sudo cat /var/spool/hylafax/doneq/JOBID |grep receiver| \
cut -d ":" --fields=2 -
or from the tag %%r somewhere in notify and keep a number:user database up
BUT:
if you have the email address, why fax it? Just email it.

Hi,
I'm thinking in a medium large scale of users. I think of having a single incoming fax number and deploy the fax to the correct receiver this way I optimize the use of fax with only one number wherever you are.
The thing is not doing a script, instead of that, it could be possible to implement and ldap search (Or something like that) that searchs the recipient and mail the fax to the correct mail address.


The answer to Why fax? is simple, fax is recognized as a legal document, meanwhile email is not.
