Mail Server

Most of the time, the DNS server configuration explained in
the DNS Server section will allow you to use the e-mail-to-
FAX relay service.
The DNS server configuration is not always used.
Some mail servers are configured to process all mail
addressed to hosts belonging to their domain as mail to
themselves. If mail server mail.abc.com has been set up in
this way, it will regard mail to xxxx@fax.abc.com as mail to
one of its users and will not forward it to your fax machine.
To prevent this, configure the mail server so it does not
process mail addressed to host fax.abc.com.
The example assumes that
The OS of mail.abc.com is FreeBSD.
The mail server is sendmail.
Configuration file sendmail.cf is generated using
utility "CF."
You will have to edit sendmail.cf directly if no
utility of this kind is available. The procedure for
this operation is very complicated. It will not be
explained here.
