SMTP
The SMTP section contains the information needed to setup email usage with the FaxFinder, as well as a
way to test the setup by sending an email. It is required that your SMTP server be configured to accept
(or “relay”) emails generated by the FaxFinder. There are various elements Email servers may look
at/use when choosing to accept and relay Email messages. The most common elements are: the IP
address of the SMTP client (the FaxFinder), the hostname provided by the SMTP client when connecting
to the SMTP server, the authentication credentials provided by the SMTP client, the Sender Envelope
Email address provided by the SMTP client and the From Email Address. Any or all of these elements can
be used along with other factors.
Note: Incoming Faxes that are to be routed by email to Fax Recipients will not be delivered unless this
section and your Email server are configured correctly.
SMTP Configuration
SMTP Server Address
Enter
the IP address of your SMTP server that will relay emails generated by the FaxFinder. This
can be either an IP address or Hostname. If you enter a Hostname, then the FaxFinder needs to
be configured with an appropriate DNS server address. This is where emails will be sent.
SMTP Port
Enter
the SMTP port to be used here (the default value for SMTP is 25).
SMTP Username
If your S
MTP server requires authentication, enter the username that the FaxFinder unit will use
for validation on the email server.
SMTP Password
If ne

FaxFinder Email Address
An Email ad
dress entered here is used to define the Sender Envelope address of this FaxFinder.
If this field is left blank, the Sender Envelope will be ffmailer-noreply@theFaxFinder'shostname.
Depending on the type of email generated by the FaxFinder (administrative or fax delivery), the
"From" address displayed when viewing the email will be either the address defined here or a
combination of it and the FaxID provided by the remote fax machine.
