The so-called Mail to Fax rules allow you to customize the behavior of the Mail to Fax - Microsoft Fax function, depending on the sender's e-mail address. The maximum supported number of Mail to Fax rules is not limited.

Fax Voip T.38 Modem always checks Mail to Fax rules, starting with the rule # 1. If the e-mail address matches the pattern, specified in the rule, then all subsequent rules are ignored. For example, if rule # 1 applies for all e-mail addresses ('E-mail' = *@*), then other rules # 2, # 3, etc. never be able to work under any conditions. If there is no one rule that matches the sender's e-mail address, the default Mail to Fax Settings will be applied.

The rule can be applied to:

• single e-mail address
• group of e-mails with specified domain part
• all e-mail addresses

There are two types of rules:

• Allow. Rules that allow the using of Mail to Fax functionality for the specified e-mail address(es).
• Deny. Rules that deny the using of Mail to Fax functionality for the specified e-mail address(es).

• Dialing Rules
• Delivery notification to user e-mail address
• File types that can be used as e-mail attachments
