Recently I was asked if FreeBSD could be used as a print server for
email; i.e. sending email to a networked printer. The idea is to have
email addresses for printers and be able to route mail to them for
delivery on hardcopy. We have *many* printers and my initial idea
of using /etc/mail/aliases i.e. helpdesk@boh.com: "| lpr 10.0.0.1"
for example seems rather cumbersome and difficult to manage when
you start adding them all up. Does anyone have recommendations
for this?
