GFI Fax Maker – Sending and Receiving Faxes & SMS Fom Email Clients

Introduction

If your company does not have Exchange Server 2000 or 2003 or if you are not using Microsoft Outlook, then you can send and receive faxes and SMS's using the method described in this chapter.


Sending a fax

To fax from your e-mail client:

1. Launch the New Message form from your e-mail client. Type in the fax message. If you do not enter a message, no cover page will be faxed. If you enter a subject, this will appear in the field in your cover page. You can also attach any Microsoft Office, PDF or HTML documents.
   
   
2. Specify the recipient of your fax: Enter the fax number in the `To:' field in the following format: number@faxmaker.com. e.g: 0614570126@faxmaker.com
   
   Note :
   This method of addressing requires that your mail server has been configured to forward all mail sent to faxmaker.com to the GFI FAXmaker fax server. The procedure to do this has been described for Lotus Notes and for Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and is similar for all other mail servers.
   
   
3. You can attach files to your message using the `Attach file' function.
   
   
4. When you are ready, click on the 'Send' button. FAXmaker will send the fax, and it will notify you on the status of the fax, by sending you a transmission report by e-mail.
