SUMMARY
Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server can provide e-mail confirmation for faxes successfully transmitted. This article describes how to configure the server and client to send and receive notifications.



MORE INFORMATION
To enable e-mail notification of successful transmission, follow these steps:

On the Small Business Server

 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Fax Server.
 * 2) Click the Routing tab.
 * 3) Click the Allow Routing via E-Mail checkbox, select Administrator from the Profile Name list box, and then click OK.
 * 4) Double-click Services in Control Panel.
 * 5) Select the Fax Service and click Stop.
 * 6) After the Fax service is stopped, click Start.

On the SBS Client

 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the Fax Client.
 * 2) Click the General Tab.
 * 3) Enter the Exchange Server mailbox in the Email Address. (This is the Users Mail Box name, not the entire SMTP email address. So if the users email address is Jsmith@Acme.Com, they would enter only Jsmith in the email address box.)
 * 4) Click OK.
 * 5) Send a fax using any of the following methods: Exchange client, Outlook client, Fax Send Utility, or File Print to Fax from within an application.

After the fax is sent, a sent confirmation will arrive in the Inbox of the Exchange mailbox supplied for "Email address."

The steps above apply to both Windows NT and Windows 95 clients.
