faxmail
I recently installed hylafax-v4.0pl1 on Digital Unix v4.0.
It seems to work fine. I set up faxmail according to the
instructions in faxmail/mailfax.sh-sendmail and that works
fine too.
What I would like to do is be able to send a fax from any
machine on my local network by sending e-mail to the faxserver
machine. To send a fax locally, the way it is setup I use:
mail 1234567@user.fax
from the local faxserver node, "wiscpa."
I naively thought that the way to send a fax from another
node, sy "wiscpg," would be to:
mail 1234567%user.fax@wiscpa
and indeed, looking through the archives I found a reply from
Sam Leffler to a similar query entitled: "bang path faxmailing?"
in which he proposes the following solution:
You can use "user%number.fax@machine.domain.net"
(whether you use user%number or number%user is just a question
of how you modified sendmail.cf). But doing that, my mail is
returned, unsent (see below). What am I missing here? Is it a
configuration problem? Is it a permissions problem? I admit
that I know almost nothing about configuring sendmail.
TIA,
Peter
