I ended up just sending mail to *@fax...... to a bash script
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have a hylafax(4.4.4) server setup on debian with postfix. Hylafax hums along just fine all day sending faxes. I'm having an issue with email-to-fax. I followed the directions as per postfix, but all I get is the following return error when I try to email a fax. I have a feeling I'm missing something simple.
Thanks

To what final recipient should go '1928772xxxx' local mail on remote host?
Is there such user there (named 1928772xxxx or do you map it to any existing user?
Log entry clearly says, that mail is considered as local, but no user with such a name.
