Configuring Mail

In the Configuring Mail area of the Advanced Options section, you can setup Email to FAX support, configure the appliance to route all outbound emails through a specific mail server, and setup email aliases for root and FaxMaster.

In order to configure Email to FAX support, you must enter the domain name that you intend to use into the Fax Domain field. In order to send faxes by email, the recipient must be addressed in FAXNUMBER@fax.example.comformat where FAXNUMBER is the actual fax number. Keep in mind that your mail server must be able to lookup the Fax Domain in your network's DNS in order to deliver emails to the HylaFAX Enterprise Appliance and that the Fax Domain must not be identical to the appliance’s Hostname.

Some networks require all email to be handled by a specific mail server (ie: MS Exchange). The Smart Host setting allows you to configure that. Simply enter the hostname (or IP address) of your mail server into the Smart Host field.

The root user is the system administrator while FaxMaster is used solely to receive periodic emails from HylaFAX regarding fax usage. In order to re-route all email sent to those users, enter the desired email address in their respective fields.

Finally, to apply your changes, select the Save button and press ENTER.
