The files are in the HylaFax distribution.  You can 'make extract' in the ports
directory to get it back if you erased it.

Their page on it is: http://www.vix.com/hylafax/faxgateway.html

In /etc/sendmail.cf, I added the following to Ruleset 0:
# forward FAX messages to HylaFAX software
R$+<@$+.FAX>            $#fax $@ $2 $: $1               user@host.FAX

And then in MAILER DEFINITIONS:
Mfax,   P=/usr/local/lib/fax/mailfax, F=DFMhu, S=14, R=24,
        M=100000, T=X-Phone/X-FAX/X-Unix, 
        A=mailfax $u $h $f

Make sure you restart sendmail to ensure it reads these changes.

It works well, once you get it set up.  If there are only a few people you want
to fax to, or a fixed group, you can just make aliases for them:

jan:     "|/usr/local/bin/faxmail -d -n jan@9351748"
 
and then run "newaliases".

One note:  I installed HylaFAX in /usr instead of /var becuase I needed the
disk space /usr had to handle all the faxes I was sending (my max so far is
about 4,500 in one day.)

Another note:  If you use HylaFAX to spam fax, you will be hated and hopefully
banished.  Fax spam is costly, and downright evil.  DO *not* do it.  People
don't like to answer questions about it for this very reason.  All the faxes I
send are legitimate faxes.  Don't ruin a good product by trying to make a buck
dishonestly.  'Nuff said.
