Ed Thanks for your help. This was very much appreciated. The only difference being that I have to use "FAXSERVE" instead of "FAX" as the primary address.

Then when your system receives a mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED], it'll send that message out to fax number 800-555-1212.

When you send the fax to the custom recipient is the fax address external to exchange and was the mail sent from outside the exchange environment? We need an automated process that will fax to various vendors but the names should be pretty static. Thanks for your recommendation but my objective is to try and work with the product that we have and minimise hardware and software. Regards -----Original Message----- From: Graham Walsh [mailto:graham.walsh@;telinet.co.uk] Sent: 28 October 2002 16:47 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Faxing - SMTP header and message body format Marc I am running Ex 5.5 with ZetaFax and I have just created a custom recipient with a ZetaFax address and it will send it to the fax server to be converted and then faxed. The address appears in GAL. With ZetaFax, it installs virtual printers (which are spool files). When you print to the printer, it creates a file and then pops up the sender details. This then sends through the ZetaFax server. Obviously this would require some manual input but you want it automated. The other downside is that ZetaFax is only for Windows and not Unit. Is the address it is sent to always the same or does it change each time?? I have searched google and come up with ActiveFax http://www.actfax.com/. Their product supports Unix printing. I have not used the product before, but you could contact them and see if the programme can automate faxes.

Sorry are you saying that you send smtp messages into exchange so that Zeetafax is able to interpret the email? Your second point sounds feasible and I have not tried it using a print spooler. What I am trying to do is send an automated fax from a unix box. So I don't know if we could send a unix print job to the fax server? How do you send your print jobs to the fax server? Regards -----Original Message----- From: Graham Walsh [mailto:graham.walsh@;telinet.co.uk] Sent: 28 October 2002 13:50 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: FW: Faxing - SMTP header and message body format Marc Can't you create a custom recipient with the SMTP address that translates to the FAX address?? Or do you want to fax directly to FAXserve without using Exchange? I use ZetaFax extensively and this cannot be done, it has to go through exchange if you want to use an SMTP address. Otherwise you have to print to a print spooler but this avoids exchange and SMTP. Regards Graham -----Original Message----- From: Marc Mearns [mailto:Marc.Mearns@;sainsburys.co.uk] Sent: 28 October 2002 12:40 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Faxing - SMTP header and message body format User Group We are using FAXserve for Windows and this is integrated into exchange. So if a user wants to send a FAX within Outlook in the TO field the user will put [FAX:0207123987421] and then put in the body of the email what ever they want to fax. We would like to be able to fax using an smtp address and send a fax from outside Exchange. Can any one please tell me how you can do this. When a user sends a fax exchange sends the mail as an smtp mail from one server to another. So I am thinking why can't we use smtp? 1. We could purchase the fax/smtp gateway but this is only going to create more administration overhead (we do not want another server to look after). 2. How does Exchange interpret the fax address and know how to route it to the faxserver? 3. I feel that technically there should be no reason why I can't send an smtp mail into Exchange because the fax server is the gateway and should do the rendering. Can any one point me in the right direction or come up with any positive comments (Fax vendor has not been helpful).
