Hi.

You dont need the relayfax scripts to run hylafax on SMEServer.

However - if you want to try them out => Link

Thanks duncan, does it mean that do i still need to create the "relayfax" user account for the smeserver?

please advise.

[duncan]

If you want to use relayfax to submit faxes to hylafax then the answer is yes.

Create the user
Untar the package and overwrite everything in the relayfax directory.

Otherwise - no.

what is the best windows fax client for the hylafax fax server to use?

using the relayfax, first, i need to spool the document to the relayfax client, then, open up the relayfax client to confirm the fax job to send out.

Am i doing the right way? or is it any program allows us to send fax job easily....

Thanks.

I use the smerp fax contrib for sme, it installs perfect and i can use a ghostscript printer on alle mij windows clients to send faxes. The incomming fax is placed in my email box.

does it does userid/passwd auth for sending out faxes?

[duncan]

You need to add the username/password to the faxuserlist.

[daley]

yes, i do add the name/passwd for this file at /home/e-smith/files/users/relayfax, file named: faxuserlist

[root@ns1 relayfax]# more faxuserlist
john@apc.com testing
[root@ns1 relayfax]#

Over the RelayFax SMTP Client 6.5.1 -> Server Settings:

My server requires authentication is tick
Account name: john@apc.com
Password: testing

Relayfax account email address: relayfax@apc.com
