  Yes !
  We even have our own low (very low ) traffic mail list,
  which from memory is `hylafax@freebsd.org' (or some such)
  	just do
  		echo lists | mail majordomo@freebsd.org
  	to find the name
  to find out who's on it try (from memory)
  		echo who | mail majordomo@freebsd.org
  
  Those half dozen who are on the list will get 2 copies of this mail,
  which I cross posted as a sort of wake up call :-)

  It used to work for me, but I used to have only one machine, & that was 
  current, (very current, new src & ports installed several times each week),
  needless to say such volatility broke my own fax functionality
  ('cos hylafax is a big complex package with hooks all over the place),
  by chance I'm just about to install it again on my 2nd more stable box,
  & I now have 2 phone lines, & have borrowed a 2nd fax modem,
  so after re-installing myself, I may be able to help you too :-)

  Sure :-)
  
  Here's an example from my /etc/aliases,
  last time I tested it I seem to recall it was OK
  (ive removed real names to protect the innocent :-)
  PS remove the backslashes & rejoin the line before testing,
  might not be necessary, tinker with it if U. want after you've
  merged it to one long line & it works OK.
