Graham We use Exchange 2000 (sorry Should have mentioned this) and I did try using a contact with an smtp address but this was not successful. 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?

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).
