Routing e-mail received via SMTP

E-mail received via SMTP can be routed to other fax machines.

Important

  • Before routing e-mail received via SMTP, you first must set “SMTP RX File Delivery” to “On” in the Fax Features menu. See “E-mail Settings”.

  • Depending on security settings, this function may not be available.

The originator can request transfer of e-mail sent to another fax machine by specifying the e-mail address as follows:

Fax Number

fax=destination fax number@host name of this machine. domain name

Example: to transfer to fax number 212-123-4567, specify:

fax=2121234567@abc.company.com

Single destination programmed in the Quick Dial Keys

fax=Sharpregistration number of 3 digits or less@host name of this machine.domain name

Example: to transfer to the destination number 001:

fax=Sharp001@abc.company.com

Group destination programmed in the destination list

fax=SharpAsteriskAsteriskregistration number of 3 digits or less@host name of this machine.domain name

Example: to transfer to the destination programmed under group number 004:

fax=SharpAsteriskAsterisk004@abc.company.com

Note

  • E-mail received via SMTP can also be routed to single or group destinations programmed in the destination list.

  • If an e-mail transfer request is received when the “SMTP RX File Delivery” is “Off” in the Fax Features menu, this machine responds with an error message to the SMTP server.

  • You can make settings that limit transfer to specified originators.

  • Using this function, you can also send documents from your e-mail application to e-mail addresses and G3 fax machines' destinations through this machine simultaneously.

  • For the maximum number of destinations you can program in a group, see “Maximum Values”.

  • The Fax Features menu provides a user parameter setting (switch 32, bit 0) that allows you to select a priority order for alternative destinations for sent documents. When this parameter is set, if the specified receiver is a group destination that includes an address not registered for the specified transmission type, the document is routed to an alternative destination. See “Parameter Settings”.
