Re: faxmail from sendmail

It looks like you are right that it is out of date, but my 4.0 man
pages indicate that the correct convention is

	faxmail -d $u@$h $f

I've tested this on my site and found that it works fine.

: Hi:
: 
: After much experimentation, it appears to me that
: the setup specified both in the Hylafax setup guide
: and as generated by the m4 files shipped with sendmail
: v8.8.5 will not work.  The hylafax program "faxmail"
: requires the -d flag to start fax delivery, and needs
: the arguments in the order <fax number> <addressee>
: <sender>.  Thus the Mfax line must have an A parameter
: as follows:
: 	A=faxmail -d $h $u $f
: in order to automatically forward mail.
