Re: flexfax: Problems with faxmail

Hi !

Yes, you were right, faxmail was called twice. Now I only call it once, from
sendmail, like suggested:

Mfax, P=/usr/bin/faxmail, F=DFMhu, S=14, R=24, M=100000,
T=X-Phone/X-FAX/X-Unix
A=faxmail -d $u@$h $f

But now the fax is sent over and over again, and I get this mail back:

I also tried this invocation:

Mfax, P=/usr/bin/faxmail, F=DFMhu, S=14, R=24, M=100000,
T=X-Phone/X-FAX/X-Unix
A=faxmail -d $u@$h

Same Problem, Mail ends in /var/spool/mqueue and is resent and resent
again....

Any Ideas ?

Thanks for your help !

Florian
