PMDF User's Guide
OpenVMS Edition

Some of the optional attributes shown in Table 1-5 supply information about you as opposed to the recipient of your FAX (e.g., AUTH, SFN, STN). To avoid the need to re-enter that information every time you send a FAX, you can define the PMDF_X_FAX_DEFAULTS logical. Then, every time you send mail with PMDF MAIL, PMDF SEND, VMS MAIL, or DECwindows MAIL, this logical will be seen and used to construct an X-FAX-defaults: header line. PMDF-FAX will use this header line to determine default values for attributes which do not appear explicitly in the FAX addresses presented to it.

The PMDF_X_FAX_DEFAULTS logical should be defined as follows

$ DEFINE PMDF_X_FAX_DEFAULTS "/attribute1=value1/.../"

For example, the definition

$ DEFINE PMDF_X_FAX_DEFAULTS "/SFN=(714) 555-1212/STN=(714) 555-1212/"

will cause /SFN=(714) 555-1212/STN=(714) 555-1212/ to be added to all FAX addresses which you generate, either by hand or with the pop-up FAX addressing form. If the address you supply already has /SFN=... specified, then the default /SFN=... will not be added. Likewise for the /STN=... default.

See Section 1.1.9 for general information on the use of logical names to specify message header lines.
