How about the man page for sendfax(1)?
The order of options on the command line is significant. Each fax to be
transmitted is assigned the current value of parameters specified on the
command line; e.g. whether or not to generate a cover page. This means
that options that specify parameters for a particular destination must pre-
cede the dialstring specified with the -d option. For example,
sendfax -n -d 5551212 /etc/passwd
submits a fax to 5551212 that has no cover page while
sendfax -d 5551212 -n /etc/passwd
In other words, you'd better put the -d 'Someone@14283342080' AFTER
all the other switches.
