3.5 Fax and SMS domain names
When installing GFI FaxMaker, connectors are configured on the mail server (either automatically or
manually) to route all emails addressed to particular domains to GFI FaxMaker. The default fax and
SMSdomains are *@faxmaker.com and *@smsmaker.com.
When domain users send emails to these domains, the mail server routes these emails to GFI
FaxMaker which converts and transmits them over fax or SMS.
For example, with the default fax domain, users can send a fax to number 123456 by composing an
email addressed to [e-mail].
3.5.1 Modifying the default fax and SMS domain names
IMPORTANT - Use this feature with caution.
Failing to complete the steps described in this topic will hinder mail flow and
consequently fax transmission.
It is recommended to only modify the domain names when constraints in the mail
environment do not allow using the default domain names. For example, when using
Microsoft
®
Office 365
™
'P1' or 'Email only' account types.
GFIFaxMaker enables modification of the default fax and SMSdomain names. When these are
modified, users send an email addressed to the custom domain name.
For example, when modifying the fax domain name to fax.mydomain.com, users can send a fax to
number 123456 by composing an email addressed to [e-mail].
Step 1:Configure connectors on mail server
NOTE
When GFI FaxMaker is installed on the Microsoft
®
Exchange Server, the connectors are
modified automatically in Step 2.
Create new or modify existing connectors on the mail server using the new domain names.
Connectors should route all emails addressed to the fax and SMSdomain names to the GFI FaxMaker
server.
For example, to use fax.mydomain.com as your fax domain name, on your mail server create a
connector that routes all emails addressed to fax.mydomain.com to GFI FaxMaker.
