Recently I was asked if FreeBSD could be used as a print server for email; i.e. sending email to a networked printer. The idea is to have email addresses for printers and be able to route mail to them for delivery on hardcopy. We have *many* printers and my initial idea of using /etc/mail/aliases i.e. helpdesk@boh.com: "| lpr 10.0.0.1" for example seems rather cumbersome and difficult to manage when you start adding them all up. Does anyone have recommendations for this? -- __ / ) _/_ It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. /--/ __ / Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, / (_/ (_<__ Instead of theories to suit facts. -- Sherlock Holmes, "A Scandal in Bohemia" Arthur W.
