Fax aliases


  Using a name instead of a phone number for faxing is easier for
  humans. Also, putting an access rule on a single phone number is eas-
  ier if a name is associated with this rule instead of just a phone
  number.

  11..  AAlliiaass

  This represents the name part of the email address. For example, if
  you send a fax to Jacques.Gelinas@fax.domain.com, the alias here is
  Jacques.Gelinas.


  22..  NNaammee

  You put the full name of the recipient. This name will be used to
  compose the first page of the fax.


  33..  PPhhoonnee nnuummbbeerr

  Put the phone number here, which will be used to fax.


  44..  AAcccceessss rruullee

  Pick a rule you have defined in the "Fax access rule." This controls
  who can fax to this person and from where.

  You can code fax aliases using normal sendmail aliases.  At first
  glance, this fax alias stuff looks like a different way to do the same
  thing. There is one nice feature here: you put an access rule with the
  fax alias. You can't do that with sendmail aliases.

  Internet service providers will probably set their fax gateway with
  rules allowing faxing for their operation -- rejecting all other
  faxing, but including their own customers. In this way, they are
  providing something nice for customers without  good email access, yet
  they are not providing the world with a fax gateway.
