Re: [hylafax-users] problems with e-mail/fax gateway on new setup using qmail

[Randy Ridley <rridley@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I still cant' find any documentation on using 4.4.3 with qmail. I
did, however, notice a line in the manpage for faxmail that stated that
"When faxmail is invoked it delivers the formatted document directly to
a HylaFAX server for transmission  as  facsimile."

In looking at the mailfax script, I modified the faxmail line from:

/usr/bin/faxmail | /usr/bin/sendfax \

to:

/usr/bin/faxmail \

and now it seems to work. Has the function of faxmail now been changed
so that sendfax is no longer needed in the mailfax script?
