- It's easy to setup an email to fax gateway with these simple steps:
- 1. Setup the HylaFAX software as usual.
- 2. If your system uses sendmail to deliver mail, then follow the
- instructions in mailfax.sh-sendmail.
- 3. If your system uses smail (e.g. Linux users), then follow the
- instructions in mailfax.sh-smail.
- 4. If your system uses qmail to deliver mail, then follow the
- instructions in mailfax.sh-qmail.
- 5. If your system uses Postfix to deliver mail, then follow the
- instructions in mailfax.sh-postfix.
- 6. Restart your mail software, refreeze your configuration or
- whatever is necessary to cause the configuration changes to be
- seen by the system.
- Voila! Now mail to user@dest.fax will get formatted and submitted as a
- facsimile job to "user" at the specified "dest". By writing a more
- involved mailfax script you can add things like different resolutions
- by parsing the "user" string. For example, an X.400-style scheme might
- use:
- user/R=low/N=done@host.fax
- where "R=low" specifies a low res facsimile and "N=done" requests
- notification when the job is done. If you want symbolic destinations,
- then you can provide a host to phone number mapping facility.
- NOTE: The normal access control mechansims on submitting a facsimile
- for transmission are enforced--you may need to use them if you create
- an email to fax gateway on your machine!
- Dirk Husemann's more elaborate scheme is included in the contributed
- software; check out ../contrib/dirk.
- There is also the "Remote Printing Experiment" being conducted by folks
- on the Internet. This provides a distributed fax delivery service that
- uses email to relay facsimile to a local site for delivery. For info
- about that stuff send mail to tpc-faq@town.hall.org.
