Re: [hylafax-users] mail--> fax

[Lee Howard <faxguy@deanox.com>]

An email-to-fax gateway can be quite simply reworked using procmail to
avoid mangling sendmail at all and so that the e-mail can be directed at an
actual user.  The user doesn't even need to be a dedicated "fax only" user,
depending on how you work the recipe.

If you'd like an example, you can take a look in
