Show faxrunq.config...?  It really should send a mail, if set up properly.

You should also be able to see this in the faxrunqd log file if you run 
"faxrunqd -v -d".  It will tell you very detailed what it does with
failed jobs.

Hmmm, what's this?  It's certainly not the part of faxrunqd.log where
it tells you what it did to the fax job after the failure.

(Look at the files yourself before sending huge loads of stuff, 
after a bit of thinking, faxrunqd.log's are very easy to read, and
so it should be sufficient to send 20-50 lines).

Don't send "attachments" or whatever.  Make sure that I can easily
read it -- include it in ASCII in the mail text -- or I just WON'T read 
it at all.
