Hello! I have a problem that I am hoping that someone can help me with. I want to receive my emails via fax. I know that there are services that do this, but they do not support attachments. My idea is to use maxemail.com and forward messages to them. The problem with this is that the maxemail will not deliver the messages unless they appear to come from my email address. I know that a mailing list works like this, but the people have to be subscribed before they send messages, or they will just get bounced. Does anybody know if there is a function in mailing lists (majordomo) to accept email from anyone?

Or maybe I am getting overly sophisticated on a simple problem, Would it be easy to write a perl script to do forward email.

Thank you for any suggests you may have.

What are you expecting an email-to-fax service to do with the attachments? Print them out and include them in the fax? That's not very likely to happen...

yes that is what I am hoping. It does works like that I have tested the maxemail service. They do support attachments.
