Thank you for your information. I had no knowledge of tis script but
found it at Matt's Script Archive.

As I understand, FormMail needs sendmail as default MTA. As long as
you have a chance to alter the sendmail configuration on your system
you should be able to use this script for faxmail.

Dieter
