It seems there are two problems.
First is shown on the very beginning of your log: 396: =: unexpected operator
Second is sendmail missing.

What MTA did you install? postfix? exim? other?

Bye,
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe
Thanks for reply.
That means I have to install sendmail from SW centre?

regds,

Hi,
you are not forced to install sendmail, but you need an MTA. Would you please let me know if you have an MTA installed and which one? I would like to know if hylafax could be changed in order to detect and support your MTA, if any.

Thanks,
Giuseppe

Hi

I don't have any MTA installed like postfix or sendmail.
regds,
