Mail server configuration
When users send fax or SMS by sending an email to number@faxmaker.com, the mail server must route this email to GFI FaxMaker to enable fax transmission. To enable this functionality, configure routing connectors on your mail server that route all emails addressed to *@faxmaker.com and *@smsmaker.com to GFI FaxMaker.
NOTE
When installing GFI FaxMaker on Microsoft® Windows® 10, 8 or 7, faxes cannot be routed to GFI FaxMaker using connectors. Use a POP3Post Office Protocol 3 mailbox instead. For more information refer to Installing GFI FaxMaker on Windows 10, 8 or 7.
