E-mail notifications

When using Mail to Fax - Microsoft Fax function, the e-mail user can receive e-mail notifications of a successful or failed fax delivery. To enable or disable delivery notifications, see Delivery notification to user e-mail address option in the Delivery Receipts to user e-mail address (Mail to Fax) - Microsoft Fax chapter of this user manual. The settings can be personalized for different sender e-mail addresses by using Mail to Fax Rules, see also Receipts Settings (Mail to Fax Rule).

In the case of failed fax delivery, an e-mail notification usually contains the error code and its description. The table below shows tipical errors, as well as some recommendations for troubleshooting.
