What man page are you referring to, and what is "it"?

typerules is a mechanism for determining how to get from "A" to "B".  It
doesn't handle anything internally, and it doesn't produce any output.

The HylaFAX server (hfaxd/faxq) know how to "render" TIFF, PDF, PS (and
sometimes PCL) to get the image data needed to send in the T.30 "fax
session".

The hylafax clients (sendfax, faxmail, etc) use typerules to determine
how process the given document into a format that it can submit to the
HylaFAX server.  So for every file/document given/attached,
sendfax/faxmail will use typerules to figure out what to do with it.  It
looks for a "rule" that fits the offset/type/match.  It will run the
"command" associated with it, and submits the output of the command to
the HylaFAX server as a "result" file.

Please be specific.  Show us the file you are trying to have submitted.
Show us the rule you believe should be used.  Tell us what you believe
should actually be transfered to the hylafax server to be sent.
