Sendmail Integration

Fax2Send now includes a delivery agent for sendmail. To configure the delivery agent:
  1. cd /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf
  2. Edit your sendmail config file (e.g redhat.mc) and add the line:
    MAILER(fax2send)
  3. Compile using m4.
    e.g m4 redhat.mc > redhat.cf
  4. Copy new .cf file to /etc/sendmail.cf.
    e.g cp redhat.cf /etc/sendmail.cf
  5. Restart sendmail.
    e.g /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

What if /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf does not exist?

Some current versions of Fax2Send incorrectly assume that sendmail will be installed in /usr/lib/sendmail-cf. For example, on Redhat 7 Sendmail is configured from /usr/share/sendmail-cf and so Step 1 above should be replaced by:

  1. cp /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/mailer/fax2send.m4 /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/fax2send.m4
  2. cd /usr/share/sendmail-cf/cf

Sending an Email via the Fax Gateway

To send e-mail through fax2send the e-mail address should look like:

username@faxnumber.fax e.g Joe.User@1234567890.fax

There are a few options that can be played with in the [mail2fax] section of /etc/fax2send/config.

At the moment it makes NO attempt to deal with attachments at all.
