Re: [hylafax-users] personalizing group faxes

[Lee Howard <faxguy@deanox.com>]

I don't know if WHFC does this type of thing (I don't use WHFC).  But, you
can vary the recipient name in the '-d' option of sendfax, and if you
include a '-x' command before every '-d' command you can vary the company
name, too.

Using my procmail rc file and RelayFax client you could do this, though,
but I've never tried sending a fax to 100 people.

With 100+ '-x -d' options on the command line, it may be quite large, so
you may prefer to do this in a looping bash script that parses the -x and
-d option information from a list-file.

This may cause a problem with killtime, though, so you'd need to watch for
it, and perhaps alter your script so that it runs sendfax with the -w
option or waits a specified amount of time between sendfax attempts.
