[hylafax-users] Anyone running external email to fax?

[Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With sendmail?

The instructions out there like:  
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/clients/sendmail-faxmail-mangling.php

Are really for local email to fax.  As they are set up for Rule Set 0 
which is processed for local mail.

It seems you have two choices:  user@fax#.fax.foo.com or 
user.fax#@fax.foo.com

The former maps well into the -d option:  user@fax#  but presents DNS 
problems (requires a pseudo domain against RFC recomendations) as well 
as some fancy sendmail foot work to allow sendmail to process the mail.

The later is easy on DNS and sendmail to start the processing, but then 
you have to mangle the address to grab user.fax# and get user@fax#.

Do you use Procmail?  I have played a bit with Procmail and gotten some 
good advice about it, but it is one more step.

Do you use Postfix instead of Sendmail?

Then with all this mangling to get inbound, you have to work with 
outbound too.....
