Sending Fax through email

[JeremyG]

Hi All,

At my company, we currently use Microsoft Exchange 5.5 (running on win NT ) and we are able to send faxes by email through exchange by inserting into the To: line

[fax: recipientname@faxnumber]

By doing this, it goes through exchange, sends it through a fax program that we have running on the email server, generates the cover sheet and everything and then sends it.

I am trying to slap together an email server in linux (going to try a few distro's, working on Fedora right now though), but that is one issue I haven't seen mentioned and I don't know of any programs to duplicate it.

I feel that if I can't find a suitable replacement for practically all services running with exchange, I won't convince my boss to switch to Linux. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Remember; Google is your friend...

There's these:
Hylafax
FaxMail

I dunno how good these are though - I dont use these kinds of service.

Thanks, I didn't find those, but I'll check them out.
