I have written a script (or at least the bare bones) designed to
convert an E-Mail to fax (mgetty-fax). I use it with postfix, but
suspect any MTA will work.
Please read the requirements in the code.
It doesn't properly deal with attachments of different types. Now, if
only I could get mgetty to look at for a given mime-type on the
command line, instead of guessing based on the file extension.
Also, there is a password hard-coded in the script (I don't want anybody
to send faxes from me computer...).
However, I believe the code to be simple and easy to understand.
Sorry, it is ages since I last looked at this (it worked
last time I checked!):
Please send improvements back to me. Or even better, package it for
Debian. I think a number of people could use similar program that is
fully featured.
