brendan, remember to "reply-all" for this list. your
/etc/postfix/custom_transport_map might look something like this:

faxmaker.com smtp:[ip.address.of.fax]:port-number

if smtp is the transport type you use to communicate with the fax
program/computer.

then don't forget to do:

"postmap /etc/postfix/custom_transport_map"

also, postfix is an awesome program that you may want to look into a bit
more since you'll be working with it and this list is a good place for
information and problem help, but you've got to have all your
information before submitting a question here. most of these guys/gals
get a lot of email and don't need to sort through a post from a newbie
who hasn't taken the time to research his own problem. if you need to
submit a problem once you've tried your setup, we'd be happy to help bu
make sure to read the docs first, then if you need this list, make sure
you submit the output from "postconf -n" and relevant logfile stuff so
we can see it.

good luck. -a
