[hylafax-users] RelayFax Client questioins



Howdy, folks. A few questions for anyone with experience with the 
RelayFax client.

The How-To at http://www.hylafax.org/howto/clients/RelayFax.html shows 
this:

> How To Do It:

> *	Install procmail and metamail. Many distributions come with these 
> packages by default.

installed by default on my RedHat 7.3 Install

> *	Install HylaFAX.

done and functioning.

Okay. Can this be left with no password?

How do I do this? I know of MTAs like SendMail, QMail, and PostFix. Is 
this the same thing? Or is a MDA a Mil Delivery Agent, instead of Mail 
Transport Agent? Any help appreciated.

Will do once I have the rest set up. If anyone has figured this out, 
let me know!

Thank you,

Tom
