Re: [hylafax-users] EMail to fax with a separate mail server

Hi James

Thanks for your answer, but I've probably described the problem the wrong
way.

On my network I have an email server on one machine and the HylaFax server on
the other machine. My goal is to send an email to my mail server and the
mail server
transfers the incoming "fax email" to the HylaFax server to send it to a fax.

I've seen the description how to setup an email-to-fax solution but this
description (even if it works for all other users) doesn't work for my
environment (circular reference because I'm using a smart host
configuration).

I'm searching for a solution (probably with API calls or a script) to
initiate a send job from my email server.

Kind regards
Rolf (aka spieler67)
