[Exim] Fax Gateway with Exim

Hello gentlemen,

I am writing to say that I am happy with all the knowledge I derive
from this list but that at the moment I am stuck in muddy grounds.

I have already read the config sample C035, but I'm still unable to figure
out how to do what I'd like to and with the vast experiences of members of
this list I hope that your contributions will see me through.

I'd like to setup a fax gateway for our company but the configuration of
the transports and the routers are making me bang my head against the wall
for a number of days now.

Here is what I am thinking and wondering if it's possible, even remotely
;-)

From C035, The settings will only allow the sending of a fax to
user@???

In my situation, I'd like to setup multiple servers located at different
sites and I only want each server to send faxes to local numbers. So what
I am looking for is something like this.

Our domain is wananchi.com and here is the hypothetical list of servers
and their locations (I'll use names known to all of us) for ease of
understanding, hoping that will aid the person who is willing to help me.

fax1 is located in Chicago
fax2 is located in Kansas
fax3 is located in Seattle

o If someone wants to send a fax to Chicago, the address to use would be
user@???

o To send a fax to Kansas, the address should be
user@???

o To Seattle, address should be user@???

Since all users use smtp.wananchi.com as their SMTP server, I would like
to configure this box to know that mail addressed to
user@??? is a local mail, strip the number 123456 out of the
address and invoke faxmail.
If the domain is different than the local one, then route that to the
relevant server, either fax2 or fax3.

I have scanned the whole Internet for such a solution but still can't find
something and have decided to bare my ignorance to it with the hope that
my head may get some rest.

I have tried various options and the thing has eaten into my mind:
Here are some transports and routers that I have encountered during my
search, only I am requesting for some input that can help adapt them to my
situation.


TRANSPORTS:

fax:
        driver = pipe
        message_size_limit = 75k
        user = uucp
        command = "/usr/local/sbin/faxmai ${domain}  ${local_part} \
${message_headers}"

newfax:
        driver = pipe
        message_size_limit = 75k
        #user = uucp
        user = fax
        command = "/var/local/tpc/tpcmailer.pl\
\"${local_part}@${domain}\" \"${sender_address}\""

simplefax:
        driver = pipe
        #user = uucp
        user = fax
        command = "/usr/local/bin/faxmail -d \
${local_part}@${extract{1}{.}{$domain}}"

ROUTERS:

fax:
        driver = domainlist
        transport = fax
        route_list = "fax.wananchi.com"
fax2:
        driver = domainlist
        transport = simplefax
        route_list = "*.fax"
newfax:
        driver = domainlist
        transport = newfax
        route_list = "*.newfax.wananchi.com"
