Bypassing the SMTP server

You can send Internet Fax documents directly to their destinations without going through the SMTP server.

Normally, Internet Fax is sent through the SMTP server. With this feature however, the domain part of the destination's e-mail address is read as the SMTP server's address and transmissions bypass the SMTP server. Since this reduces the load on the server, you can send Internet Faxes without having to take into account the transfer time from server to destination.

Important

There are two ways of specifying a destination, as follows:

By specifying the other party's host name

Specify a destination's e-mail address by adding the other party's host name to the domain part of the e-mail address. Specify the address after the @ as follows: “host name”, “. (dot)”, and “domain name”.

xxxx@host name of the other party.domain name

For example, if the other party's e-mail address is “abc@defcompany.com” and the host name is “HOST”:

abc@HOST.defcompany.com

By specifying the other party's IP address

Specify a destination's e-mail address by changing the domain part of the e-mail address to the other party's IP address.

xxxx@[the other party's IP address]

For example, if the other party's e-mail address is “abc@defcompany.com” and the IP address is “192.168.1.10”:

abc@[192.168.1.10]
