Re: [hylafax-users] FaxNotify, sendfax,

["Donald, Adam" <adam.donald@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

(Solution for Windows clients only for faxing via printer) If you used samba
and fixed IP addresses and each user would use their own PC, you could
create a printer in samba that mapped back to a script and would determine
the correct email address based on the IP address from the submitting
machine.  If your users are using different machines and you are using MS
Active Directory (assuming still that all your fax clients are using
Windows), you could ensure that the user's email addresses are entered into
their AD account, and then use samba-tng to get the current user name from
the registry of the IP address that printed to the fax printer, and then use
samba/samba-tng to query the AD to get the user's email address (haven't
done the email address query part but should be possible).  Either way, the
samba printer script could run a 'sendfax -D' with the email address that it
found by the 'IP --> email' mapping or the 'IP --> Win user name --> AD -->
email' query.  Neither way will work if your users are using Terminal
Services to run their print/fax from.

Subject: [hylafax-users] FaxNotify, sendfax, 

I gleaned the following from the archives: 
"  Query? Is there anything else I have to do beside creating FaxNotify file
in /var/spool/fax/etc to get notification of faxes sent? 

Ans:
The job has to be submitted with notification request. For example, using
'sendfax -D'.".

So, *my* query is  . . . if submitting FAX via a FAX "printer" ("clientless"
setting") how does one do this?  Can one get notifications sent if simply
using a FAX printer?  And, of course, my most recent other post comes into
play.

Isn't there a way to make notifications a default behavior?
