TX Verification Mail 11
Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions. Verification Mail for sending allows you
request notification from the receiving station that the I-Fax or E-mail was received and processed.
Verification Mail for receiving allows you to transmit a default report back to the sending station after
successfully receiving and processing an I-Fax or E-mail.
To use this feature you must set the Notification option within the Setup Mail RX and
Setup Mail TX options.
Setup Mail TX 11
You can set the Notification option in the Setup Mail TX option to either On or Off. When switched
to On an additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.
MDN (Mail Disposition Notification):
This field requests the status of the I-Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Send Mail
Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiving station this data is used
when the machine or user reads or prints the received I-Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is opened
for reading or is printed the receiving station sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.
The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise
the request will be ignored.
Setup Mail RX 11
There are three possible settings for this option On, MDN or Off.
Receive Notification “On”
When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sending station to indicate successful reception
and processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sending
station.
Report messages consist of:
SUCCESS : Received From <Mail Address>
Receive Notification “MDN”
When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to the sending station if the originating
station sent the “MDN” field to request confirmation.
Receive Notification “Off”
Off switches all forms of receive notification Off, no message are sent back to the sending station regardless
of the request.
Error mail 11
If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet fax, the mail server will send an error message back
to the machine and the error message will be printed. If there is an error while receiving mail, an error
message will be printed (Example: “The message being sent to the machine was not in a TIFF-F format.”).
