I've been trying to get Hylafax 3.0.1 to work.  The error that I get
is when I try using sendfax.  This is the command I am typing:

sendfax -d 5551234 filename

The error I get is:

"Service refused; you do not have permission to use the fax server
from root@machinename.domain.com."

NOTE: I've substituded here the machinename.domain.com from the
original one for the purpose of this example.

Now according to documentations, it's said that access is controlled
by the /etc/hosts.  I have defined everything in there as a normal
hosts file has.  However, I still can't get it to let me fax.  Any
ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance,
