It is possible to get reliable e-mail-to-fax service. For example, you may
wish to set up a private IPSec SMTP tunnel between your mainframe and your
e-mail-to-fax service provider. Then you are connecting directly and over a
private link, and you can have reasonable confidence in the transmission.
Your e-mail-to-fax service provider should also have various means of
generating transmission reports to indicate who got what (and when). Or,
more precisely, that some fax machine answered and the paper is perhaps
curled up under the filing cabinet. :-)
