2.9.2.2 How the SMTP Gateway Operates 
Outbound: The mail server receives the email from the user and relays it to the gateway using SMTP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

The gateway sends it to the fax server to be faxed, and when it is complete, the gateway sends a

 

 

   

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

   

notification back to the sender using SMTP. 

 

Inbound: When a fax is received and routed to email, the gateway emails it to the recipient using

 

   

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

SMTP. 

 

 

2.9.2.3 Mail Server Requirements 
The mail server must support SMTP. SSL is supported (using STARTTLS). 

 

 

2.9.2.4 Choosing a Domain Name 
The domain name is used to route mail to the fax server. It must be unique. It is usually preferable to

 

 

   

   

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

     

 

   

choose something that is recognizable as used for fax. A good choice would be your company’s normal

 

 

   

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

email domain with a “fax.” in front of it. For instance fax.company.com. 

2.9.3 Installing the Email Gateway
