Here is a basic explanation of how it works, from a user standpoint.
There are three email address formats allowed to send fax.
- phone@fax.your_domain
This is the simple case. It lacks the ability to
encode the recipient name on the fax front page. If you
text do contain this information, all is well.
- name@phone.fax.your_domain
This format encode both the phone number and the recipient
name. For example, many will encode an email-fax like this
jacques.gelinas@999-9999.fax.solucorp.qc.ca
This lets the fax gateway extract both the phone number
and the full name, so a nice front page may be built.
- alias@fax.your_domain
Linuxconf lets you define a list of alias for fax. This is handy
when a lot of people need to fax to the same person.
The mail to fax gateway will support email attachment and will
try to convert them to formats managed by the fax engine you are
using. Often a fax will be an empty mail with a nice attachment
in postscript or any suitable format.
