Re: [hylafax-users] Send the users a confirmation or error report

[David Fastman <fastmand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know how it works with postfix, but I did this once with 
sendmail. I had to change the fax.m4 file to call a shell script I wrote 
instead of faxmail - the script, /usr/local/bin/mailfax was like this -

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/faxmail -n -p 12|sendfax -n -m -R -f "$2" -d "$1"

and I had changed the fax.m4 file like this  (output from diff 
fax.m4.original fax.m4)-
20c20
<       `define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS', faxmail -d $u@$h $f)')
---
>       `define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS', mailfax $u@$h $f)')
22c22
<       `define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH', /usr/local/bin/faxmail)')
---
>       `define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH', /usr/local/bin/mailfax)')



so that faxmail did its thing with the email but then sendfax got the 
output and sent it on with the correct options -

it worked, but we ended up not using it because there was no user demand 
for a mail to fax gateway at our office.
