The following table lists the various parameters. These parameters are all optional unless otherwise noted. The config file contains information that controls the operation of the Faximum server.

The file consists of a number of lines of the form name = value, where name is the name of a parameter and value is the value the parameter is to have. If a parameter value contains white space, it must be quoted. The value component may be quoted using the same syntax as the shell and may include any of the following escape sequences: \b (backspace), \e (escape), \f (formfeed), \n (newline), \r (carriage return), \t (tab), and \nnn (character with octal value nnn).

name = value
name = "value value value"
name = "This \" string is funny"

The following table lists the various parameters. These parameters are all optional unless otherwise noted.
