Does this mean that during an upgrade, the user modified file "/var/spool/fax/bin/FaxDispatch" will be not overwritten? It is a script, but it is also a user customizable configuration file, per the manual. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You only need to write your own /var/spool/fax/bin/FaxDispatch for special cases, and yes this file is currently not protected against updates, it maybe could get config status, but I do not see a real usecase where you need to modify it.

Well, the man page (FAXRCVD(8C) ) talks about creating/modifying it, and gives samples. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You do not need that, it should work without modify anything. All you need is a mail alias FaxMaster, it get all incoming faxes.

Making an alias to achieve this is not mentioned anywhere in the docs :-(. Man page of "faxrcvd" just say about using SENDTO variable in order to get the fax delivered to users, not just FaxMaster.

Only if you have equipment which can handle multiple Faxnumbers, you need to edit /var/spool/fax/etc/users. You only need to write your own /var/spool/fax/bin/FaxDispatch for special cases, and yes this file is currently not protected against updates, it maybe could get config status, but I do not see a real usecase where you need to modify it.

Well, I can see some scenarios where editing FaxDispatch is a "must". For example, if the e-mail has to be sent to several recipients with different formats based on users preferences (one likes pdf and others prefer tif). Another case for editing this file could be the use of html templates (a new feature of this HylaFAX release)... and there are many cases where this option is needed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
