 Not specifically following onto this post, but I have a basic shell
script knocking about somewhere from yonks ago, which works with HylaFAX
and Postfix, (it requires RipMIME as well), for accepting and ripping the
mail apart for faxing. If it may be of any use, (and it was still in its
infancy last time I worked on it), I can dig it out if you want to have a
play with it.
