Re: [hylafax-users] How to increase resolution of sent fax

[David Forrest <drf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,
Here is the postfix portion of the how-to:
With Postfix a virtual alias map should be created by putting an entry 
such as "virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias" into main.cf. Then 
create /etc/postfix/valias with an entry such as "@fax.domain.org 
mail2fax". Run 'postmap valias' to create the virtusertable.db file. This 
tells postfix to point all mail for fax.domain.org at the mail2fax alias. 
Then in /etc/aliases create an entry such as "mail2fax: 
|/usr/local/bin/mail2fax.sh" which will tell postfix to send all mail for 
the mail2fax alias at the mail2fax.sh script. Then run 'newaliases' and 
'postfix reload'.

It is important to create the aliases entry as per above or the user will 
be unkown.  Is that the reason for your error report?

Dave.
