ClearFoundation

I have a working hylafax server and a working ClearOS server on my network and I would like to implement e-mail to fax capability. I would like to configure the ClearOS server to forward emails addressed to [outgoingfaxnumber]@fax.domain.com to my existing hylafax server. My ClearOS machine's FQDN is mail.domain.com and receives mail for domain.com.

How do I do this?

Or is there a better means of handling this? I do not want to integrate hylafax on my ClearOS machine for a variety of reasons.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Nevermind - found it

Under Server : SMTP Server : I added that fax.domain.com to my Mail Forward Domain List and pointed it to my Hylafax server and it works.

My apologies for not digging further before asking.

Hi Jeff,

Congratulations on getting your issue resolved. Are you using an external modem with Hylafax? If so, what brand and model?

Alex,

I am using an external serial USR 5686G modem. It was one of the few I found that would send faxes reliably out on our PRI phone lines. I was using an old USR 33.6kbps Sportster when sending via analog lines without issue.

Hylafax server is running Debian Squeeze and Postfix as the MTA.
Needed to tweak Postfix's main.cf with:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
fax_destination_recipient_limit = 1
and master.cf:
fax unix - n n - 1 pipe
flags= user=fax argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n ${user} -N -T

When mail comes to [fax#]@fax.domain.com it is forwarded to the Hylafax server where Postfix sees the incoming mail and processes it out via faxmail to hylafax who sends it. Sender gets an e-mail only if the fax fails.
