I am using a service, Protus IP Solutions, allows for sending & receiving faxes via email, can also be done online too.

You don’t specify which e-mail system. You want to automatically open and process an e-mail attachment, With spam and viruses at incredible levels the thought of auto processing attachemtns is really scary.

Depending on your e-mail system, have it save attachments to a system attached to a printer (preferrably not a network printer). Then use a script to print new files as they are added.

Good luck.
