Fax and SMTP

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a VB.NET program that sends email using SMTP. I also need it to send faxes.We have a Notes fax server which can be used from within Lotus Notes to send a fax using

somename@faxnumber@faxserver

However I tried using this format in the VB program to send a fax and it didn’t like it.

I think it has something to do with the SMTP being ‘external’ to Notes and it not recognising the address.

Is there a way of sending faxes via Notes from SMTP?

Thanks

You might try

somename%faxnumber%faxserver@yourinternetdomain

No guarantees.

This would look like an attempted relay to Domino so you would have to add the IP of your external server (the one running the VB app) to the list of hosts permitted unrestricted relay.
