Hello John,

this may work if you can send a mail to "FaxMaster" by calling 
"sendmail", see below.
Does your MTA accept "FaxMaster" as a valid recipient? Or does msmtp 
translate it to a real email address?

See the faxrcvd script.
I use HylaFAX 6.0.3 (hylafax-server 2:6.0.3-5.1ubuntu1)

The script pipes the message into
$SENDMAIL -f"$FROMADDR" -oi "$SENDTO"
My setup.cache defines SENDMAIL='/usr/sbin/sendmail'

msmtp is not an MTA, it is an SMTP client which connects to an MTA. Does 
msmtp translate "FaxMaster" to a real email address? Otherwise the MTA 
must be able to handle this alias. (I guess your ISP's MTA will not like 
this.)

No, it would not do what you want. SENDTO must be an email address, not 
a command.

Don't use "mailto:".
I don't know if you can use a full name like "full name 
<[email protected]>". I only use simple email addresses like 
"[email protected]".
