QSEND(1)

NAME
qsend - Qfax general purpose file sender for efax

SYNOPSIS
qsend file [ file... ]

DESCRIPTION
qsend is the Qfax substitute for the fax send
 command. The user is prompted for some information about the recipient, a subject, and comments for the fax cover page. If the recipient is found in either the user's personal phonebook ( ~/.fax ) or the master phonebook ( fax.db ) any files listed on the command line will be converted into Group III fax files. Acceptable formats are ASCII text and PostScript, but if a filename ends in a "." followed by 3 digits, (e.g. ".001", ".002", etc.), qsend assumes it is already a proper Group III fax file and will not attempt to convert it. The resulting collection of fax pages will be arranged in the order they were listed on the command line, and together they constitute a single fax, preceded by a cover page. This completed fax is then queued to be sent out later.

FAX ADDRESSES
To use the email to fax gateway, users must address their email to: <PersonAlias>@<CompanyAlias>.fax e.g. "karen@megacorp.fax". The aliases are used for lookup in the phonebooks, and are replaced with the full names on the cover page of the fax (see qfax.phonebook(1) for more details).
