Re: [Zope] Sending Fax through MailHost
What you are trying to do has nothing with SMTP to do. It's fully MS Outlook specific. You would have to write a mailhost that does not use SMTP, but integrated directly to an outlook server. I have no idea of how to do that, or even if it's possible. What you might want to do instead, is too see if you can make the fax software you are using be a SMTP-mail to fax gateway. I.e., if you somehow can send SMTP mails to it. In that case, the mail adress would be something like [EMAIL PROTECTED], which would be a valid SMTP address. ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Title: RE: [Zope] Sending Fax through MailHost Thanks guys, Chris, I saw that existed.. and I do see that it's a lot more straightforward.

[Zope] Sending Fax through MailHost
Title: Sending Fax through MailHost Hi, I'm trying to put a fax number into the To: field of the mailhost header and am not having much luck. Obviously the standard for this is to address the email to [FAX:18479131145] but when I do [FAX:1dtml-var faxnum] it just tells me that there are no recipients designated. Any ideas?

RE: [Zope] Sending Fax through MailHost
Title: Sending Fax through MailHost By the way, I did notice that in my address in outlook its specified as the email-type FAX and when I put a normal email address in it is email type SMTP. I guess when you do [fax: ] it changes the email-type to FAX and uses the number as the address. I am thinking there would have to be an additional header line similar to content-type but I dont know where this would go or what it would be. Is this even supported (or supportable??)

What you are trying to do is not supported because your FAX addresses are not valid and legal email addresses. MailHost will simply ignore them. You would have to write your own implementation that does something intelligent with those odd addresses. jens ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
