Re: [hylafax-users] procmail recipe for HylaFax

[Aaron Bell <aaron@hyla.apogeemedical.net>]

Thanks for the quick response...does this assume a sendmail setup? I'm 
using qmail. When I place the procmail file below in the user's home 
directory, I get the following message in my mail log:

@400000003c8d0a490d1a261c delivery 38: success: 
procmail:_Error_while_writing_to_"_(formail_-r_-A"X-Loop:_$USER@$FAXHOST"_;_\/________echo_"FAX_ERROR:_You_do_not_have_permission_to_fax.")_|_$SENDMAIL"/procmail:_Skipped_"-t"/did_0+0+1/

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Aaron
