2. Spool command

When an email-fax is received, the email message is parsed and the fax is extracted. Using the various access rules, the gateway decides if the fax should be transmitted to the fax system.

Once a fax is validated, a user defined command (the spool command) is called with the following arguments:

• Phone number.
• Name of the recipient if available or a single minus sign.
• Name of the sender if available or a single minus sign.
• Email address of the sender.
• A list of files holding the various attachments composing the fax.

We expect to deliver pre-built scripts for the various faxing systems out there, so this field will come with a pick list. For now, you must build your own.
