The ruleset in the cf file that calls the fax mailer expects the domain portion to be ext.fax and not ext.fax.foo.com. The rule looks for anything .FAX.

How do I correct this?
Editing sendmail.cf directly.
sendmail.mc:define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/faxmail')dnl sendmail.mc:define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d -n -p 12pt $u@$h $f')dnl sendmail.mc:MAILER(`fax')dnl
Where did that ruleset come from? And what should I use in the ARGS in place of $h to get just the host portion of the FQDN?
I really do not know. I have not been through sendmail mc/cf files in quite a while. Let me see if we can pass parameters via mailertable...
If you could edit the sendmail.cf itself, we could dispense with the mailertables too...
I would highly advise against editing the sendmail.cf file directly. Spend a little extra time and install the sendmail-doc package, then consult the file /usr/share/doc/README.cf.
From experience, this will save you LOTS of hassle in the future.
