[hylafax-users] hylafax - mail to fax

["Harry M. Aasterud" <harry@aasterudweb.com>]

Hi there again,

YES YES YES I'm faxing !!! Thank you !

Next on my list was mail to fax installation. First barrier for me to encounter (as
a newbee) is :

*****************************************
(part from the mail-to-fax.html)

Now, there are two ways to configure sendmail .

             I. You can either  add to your .mc file, that is linux.mc or
OS-Type.mc, or to
             your .m4 file the following:

                     define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/faxmail')dnl
                     define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d -n -p 12 pt $u@$h $f')dnl
                     MAILER(`fax')dnl

             While the path to faxmail might be different, depending on OS-Type and
             distribution, the arguments can be taken from man (1) faxmail.
             After adding to your mail.mc or m4 file, you have to translate the
             file with the m4 macros. That is

                             # m4 mail.mc > sendmail.cf

(end text)
*************************************************

OK, where is the linux.mc file, and what is m4? I've been going through the mailing
list, but there was only one link to linux.mc, and that was this mail-to-fax.html.

I'm using Dmail as linux mailserver. Dmail is configured to catch everything that is
beeing send via sendmail. So I wonder if I need to make my aliases in /etc/aliases,
or in Dmail... But that's for me to find out soon :-)
