Re: [hylafax-users] emailtofax options

What you're really looking for  is a script that uses sendfax rather 
then trying to use the program faxmail.
Something like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# simple mail-to-fax utility designed to replace HylaFAX's faxmail
# uses shell, sendfax, metamail, and uudecode
#
# - Lee Howard - NubJub & Marek
# This is a modified version of the script provided by Lee Howard
# on this Hylafax+ website.
#
# HINT: TO COMPLETELY DISABLE COVERPAGES TAKE
# A LOOK AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SCRIPT
#
# I am compelled to point out here that using faxcover to
# automatically generate cover pages using the content of your
# email is pretty great.
#
# It would like to find a hyfax.conf file in etc that looks
# something like this:
#    *********************************************************
#    # Set to 'true' to enable logging; set to 'false' to disable.
#    LOG=true
#    LOG_FILE=/var/log/hyfax.log
#    OUTGOINGFAXNUMBER=XXX-XXX-XXXX
#    *********************************************************
#
# You will also need to create a log file writeable by the user
# your mta will be running with script with.
#
# Mail to addresses work in the formats
#    1) Dispaly Name <PHONE-NUMBER@xxxxxxxxxxx>
#    2) "Display Name" <PHONE-NUMBER@xxxxxxxxxxx>
#
# These formats are really just a matter of the sed parsing of the
# _message_ file and can easily be edited to suit your particular
# preferences.
#
# The formats described above match the 2nd email-to-fax
# configuration described in the file:
# /usr/share/doc/hylafax-client/faxmail/mailfax.sh-postfix.gz
# This script does not have any swtiches so the -d -n
# switches shown in the example should be removed
#
# Mail from addresses are assumed to be in the formats
#    1) Dispaly Name <username@xxxxxxxxxxx>
#    2) "Display Name" <username@xxxxxxxxxxx>
#
# Which are generally the formats used by modern email cients.
