2.9.1.3.1
Create a POP3 Mailbox
Contact your ISP or mail hosting service, or use the interface they have provid-
ed to you to create a POP3 mailbox for the fax server. The ISP or mail hosting
service will provide you with the domain name of their POP3 server and their
SMTP server (they can be the same or different); make a note of them since
you will need them later.

Email Integration using SMTP
SMTP is typically used when you have an on-site mail server. The Email gateway
functions much like an SMTP email server like Exchange, it has a specific domain
assigned to it, and sends and receives mail using SMTP.
2.9.2.1
Microsoft SMTP Server
To receive SMTP email, the Microsoft SMTP Server is required. This is available

includes the SMTP Server feature.
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

usually preferable to choose something that is recognizable as used for fax. A
