Attached is a custom replacement for the sambafax cups backend (based in the 
original sambafax)

it uses pdftk to process the document, so you must have this installed

This backend splits the document in individual pages, then scan each page 
looking for 2 kind of tags to detect the beginning and end of each fax. then 
recompose the final documents and send all the documents to each destination.

the tags can be set anywhere in the page.

one page can not contain more than one fax (ie you can not set two beginning 
and two end tags in one page), the script will only take in account the first 
one of each type

you can set the beginning tag in one page and the end tag several pages later, 
and the script will make this fax several pages long.

the tags are:

for the beginning

BeginHylaFax : faxnumber (ie BeginHylaFax : 765438734)

for the end

EndHylaFax


look itno the script and replace the notification addresses with your user and 
domain

Hope this helps

it will be great if someone put this script in the hylafax page :-)
