Removing of all ns-records resulted in 'no such domain'.

Maybe you could add an example for testing to faxrc like
"accept^ n" which should match pretty everything.
But courierfax would have logged such errors anyway.

./configure --with-transport='local esmtp fax dsn' actually
disabled the fax-functionality completely, the module was
never invoked according to strace.

Next problem was in share/faxmail/init line 18, sh wants
FAXRES="${FAXRES:hi}" replaced with FAXRES="${FAXRES:-hi}"


Now the box runs Hylafax and I cant install mgetty+sendfax.
Had to replace faxg3 with tiffg3 in share/faxmail/*.filter,
and a small sendfax-wrapper to fixup the commandline:

#!/bin/sh
HYLAFAXARGS="-v -D -R -t 1 -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -l -n -d"
shift 2
exec /usr/local/bin/sendfax $HYLAFAXARGS $@ 

But thats overkill, Hylafax has its own converter, scheduler
and queue and can be safely invoked via .courier-default.
