You'll need to use a program like ImageMagick to conver the initial message into the TIFF format, the universal FAX transmision format.
Then you have to use something like "sendfax" another linux program to send the fax out, once you have the TIFF file sending the fax is easy, I'm short on time right now, but read up on "sendfax" and ImageMagick, Make sure you can run the command on your Linux server "convert", type "man convert" and read a little on it, if it can not be found when you type that, ImageMagick isn't installed and you'll need to get it. Go to google.com and search ImageMagick to get to their site. As for sendmail, also type "man sendmail" in your console to get info, once again, if it can't be found install it, go to google.com and search for "Mgetty", sendfax come's with it, like convert come's with ImageMagick. Once you have the proper software, and if you do already all the better, it's easy. You'd run the system command through perl like this, `convert file.html file.tiff`; I think you can do html to tiff with convert, I'll test for you later, I really must go but do what I said and write back if you found the right info ok, Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 2:59 AM Subject: Formmail to fax > How do I get the message collected from a formmail, to be sent to a > telefax numner.
