In this area, you can specify custom settings for fax delivery notifications that will be applied to the current rule only.

Delivery notification to user e-mail address

Specifies whether to send a notification of a successful or failed fax delivery to the sender's e-mail address.

Attach a copy of the sent fax in the following format

Specifies whether a copy of the sent fax should be attached to the e-mail message. Select the file format in which you want to receive a copy of the sent fax. Can be TIFF, PDF or SFF. Note that this option is ignored in the case of any errors in the fax job creation (not possible to convert your original document into the fax format, the specified fax number is invalid, e-mail address is blocked etc.). In this case the delivery notification is always sent without fax attachment.

The options below are responsible for how file names are generated for the attached faxes.

Filename template may contain arbitrary text, as well as so-called %variables% that are replaced by actual data (e.g. %RecipientFaxNumber%, %StartTime%, %PagesTransferred% etc.). Filename template can not contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | ; An example of file name for the current filename template (taking into account the selected date and time formats) is shown below under Example.

Notes

• When using CDO.Message method for sending e-mail messages (see more details in the SMTP Settings chapter) and the presence of unicode characters in the name of the attached file (usually when using a non-standard locale to format date and time), these characters can be replaced by underlining ' _ '. To fix the problem, use SecureSmtpClient or System.Net.Mail method for sending e-mail messages.
