With FaxNow! Mail Gateway installed, email users can send and receive faxes just like email.

Sending faxes from email
Sending faxes from your email client is as easy as sending normal email. Fax addresses can be entered directly into the To: field, or stored and accessed from your email address book.

Faxes sent from a users email client are passed to FaxNow! Server via the FaxNow! Mail Gateway. The FaxNow! Mail Gateway can run as part of the FaxNow! Server or on a separate PC on the network. Faxes sent by email users adhere to the same user defaults and therefore a users default coverpage and setting apply unless a user specifies other options within the fax address.

Automatically render attachments
FaxNow! will automatically convert attached files included within your email into fax format. Any number of file attachments can be included for example: Microsoft Word, Excel etc... This makes faxing from your email client seamless because other email and fax addresses can be mixed together in the same email.

Receiving faxes as email
FaxNow! handles incoming faxes in different ways depending on server properties. At a basic level, all incoming faxes can be stored within the 'Unrouted Fax' folder. Alternatively, faxes received on a particular fax line, or with direct inbound dialing, can be routed directly to users across the network by FaxNow!. FaxNow! Mail Gateway provides the same service but through email. Users can decide how they want to receive faxes and system administrators can decide who will receive unrouted incoming faxes. When faxes are routed to users or groups by email, the format of the fax can be changed to be Tiff, FaxNow! IFX or ViewNow! self viewing file format.

Incoming faxes can also be printed automatically on receipt or auto forwarded to another FaxNow! user, fax or email address.
