You're right that I hacked /etc/mgetty/new_fax to print the incoming fax
file, but that's not where the email is coming from (I don't think). I
believe the default new_fax file that comes in the mgetty package actually
sends the entire fax file to the postmaster, while I am just receiving a
notify when a fax arrives. But, I don't even want to recieve the notify.
The script I'm using is below. It came with the mgetty package, I believe
it was named new_fax.lj and I just moved it to /etc/mgetty/new_fax. If
you can see anywhere in this script that is sending an email, please tell
me where.
Thanks,
Gerry
