Originally I was thinking that this could be done by having a fax domain,
routing it via a pipe, and using the anti-relay logic to prevent outsiders
using it, however I guess a local alias which feeds it would subvert
this....
It would be possible to do this within the filter code, either by sending
it to a pseudo user or in the global filter code.
However the simplest answer looks like a wrapper script on the mail2fax
command which checks for authorised users.
