Procmail to Fax

1999-09-04 12:16:52
Hi,

With the rise of free-fax by email, I would like to have my clients be
able to email in to an autoresponder  to get faxed back a text file.

[I don't know why they prefer it to email,  dead trees don't dream]


One of the easiest services is 
remote-printer(_dot_)senders_name(_at_)14157779999tpc(_dot_)int
where "14157779999" is the fax number  and "senders_name" can be
anything.


Now it seems that if someone were to send to say,
info-fax(_at_)adreams(_dot_)org
and put in the subject the phone "14157779999" 
that they could get a fax-back! 

my recipie at this time can only send back via email to the sender:



 :0
* ^X-Rcpt-To(_dot_)*info(_at_)asdreams\(_dot_)org
* !^X-Loop: webmaster(_at_)asdreams(_dot_)org
* !^FROM_DAEMON
| (formail -r ; cat ../infofiles/help_file) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t



 How can I adust this to also
1. read the subject line for a phone number (and preferably strip any
parentheses,  (404)  lines  404-3333  or blanks  404 3333)
and then
2. put that number/string in the OUTGOING mailto: 

3. A third option would take the name in the body of the email if
present and put it in sender_name   or just  substitute something like
"asd-fax"  if not present


  Thanks, and go easy on me, I be-newbie and need every little thing
explained with a sample/example.
