   Ummm, sounds like some *real* stress testing to me ... I think I
   should use those numbers in my next announcements ;-)

Yup ;-)

   In the latest version (if you want to upgrade - basically, if it works
   now, don't!) you can simply #define FAX_SEND_MAX_TRIES 0, then it will
   never re-send a page. Not bulletproof (sometimes the page is *really* bad,

No it isn't because this might end up in a sent fax which
lacks one or two pages...

   though I've never experienced it...) - but better than 15 copies all the
   time.

That's true. However it continues to be unsatisfying
(at least for the poor faxadmin :|)

Ciao,
