No, you don't add fax, or anything else, to locals, or add any MX records for
anything.
Removing of all ns-records resulted in 'no such domain'.
What is the magic behind invoking '@fax' ?
A syntactically valid phone number for North America, in the default install.
I count a nine-digit phone number up there, and in this part of the world
telephone numbers are ten digits long. Furthermore, the default
configuration rejects clearly invalid phone numbers for North America (like
ones that begin with a zero). Using all 1s won't work either. You can also
use a seven digit number, and the default area code will get prepended by
default (the default area code is 999). --
Maybe you could add an example for testing to faxrc like
"accept^ n" which should match pretty everything.
But courierfax would have logged such errors anyway.
./configure --with-transport='local esmtp fax dsn' actually
disabled the fax-functionality completely, the module was
never invoked according to strace.
Next problem was in share/faxmail/init line 18, sh wants
FAXRES="${FAXRES:hi}" replaced with FAXRES="${FAXRES:-hi}"
Now the box runs Hylafax and I cant install mgetty+sendfax.
Had to replace faxg3 with tiffg3 in share/faxmail/*.filter,
and a small sendfax-wrapper to fixup the commandline:
#!/bin/sh
HYLAFAXARGS="-v -D -R -t 1 -f faxm...@alpha.lan -l -n -d"
shift 2
exec /usr/local/bin/sendfax $HYLAFAXARGS $@
But thats overkill, Hylafax has its own converter, scheduler
and queue and can be safely invoked via .courier-default.
