Introduction to
GFI FAXmaker
GFI FAXmaker
is a fax server that
enables
you to send and receive
faxes via your email infrastructure.
G
FI FAXmaker
for
Exchange/SMTP integrates with Microsoft Exchange Server
2000
/2003
/2007
/2010
/5.5, Lotus Notes and with most popul
ar
SMTP/POP3 Mail servers
and
consists of:
A F
ax S
erver service which handles the sending and receiving of
faxes via the fax hardware.
An Email2F
ax
gateway service that retrieves the faxes to be sent
via a sink or pop3 and sends inbound faxes and fax tran
smission
reports via SMTP.
A fax printer driver and a fax message form which allow users to
send faxes via their
email
client.
The fax message form integrates with the email architecture
:It does
not have any direct links with the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server s
oftware.
How to deploy
GFI FAXmaker
for Exchange/SMTP
14
GFI FAXmaker
has a very flexible SMTP based architecture
enabling
you to deploy the fax server in a way that best suits your network and
type of mail server. You can also choose whether you want to i
nstall
GFI FAXmaker
on your mail server or whether you want to
install
it on
a
dedicated
machine.
NOTE
1
:
For Microsoft
Exchange
Server
5.5,
you must
always
deploy
GFI FAXmaker
on a
dedicated
machine
.
NOTE 2:
Since
GFI FAXmaker
does not require a lot of r
esources it
can run in the background on your mail server machine.
I
t is
however
often considered good practice to separate your mail server from fax
device hardware such as Brooktrout cards or ISDN cards. The choice
will probably depend on the size of you
r network.
It is recommended that for s
maller networks
,
GFI FAXmaker
is
deployed
on the mail server, whilst
for
larger networks
GFI FAXmaker
should be deployed
on a
dedicated
machine. This separate machine
does not need to be
exclusive to
GFI FAXmaker
.
HowGFI FAXmaker

010
If you have Exchange 2000
,
2003
,
2007
or 2010
as your mail server
you can choose to install
GFI FAXmaker
on the mail server machine
itself or on a separate machine.

Figure

installed on the Exchange 2000
/2003
/2007
/2010
server
When installed directly on mail servers running
Microsoft
Exchange
2007
/2010
, GFI FAXmaker will automatically setup ‘Foreign’ and
‘Receive’ connectors to capture fax requests. W
hen installed directly
on mail servers running MS Exchange Server 2000
/2003
, GFI
FAXmaker uses a ‘sink’ to capture fax requests.
Following the installation, no further configuration is requir
ed. The
connectors and sinks will automatically forward all fax messages to
GFI FAXmaker.
Figure
2-GFI FAXmaker
installed on a
dedicated
server
GFI FAXmaker can also be installed on a dedicated machine which is
not running MS Exchange Server. To achieve this in environments
where mail servers are running on Exchange server 2000
and 2003
you must:
GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
GFI FAXmaker
-
an overview
3
1. Install GFI FAXmaker on the fax server machine (which will require
the IIS SMTP service to be installed). The fax server software and a
sink for the IIS SMTP service will be automatically installed.
2. Run the GFI FAXmaker set
-
up again thi
s time on the Exchange
server. This will create a standard SMTP connector, which will forward
fax requests to the GFI FAXmaker fax server. Alternately, you can
create an Exchange SMTP connector manually as described in ‘The
Exchange 2000
/2003
SMTP connector’ chapter.
To install GFI FAXmaker on a dedicated machine (i.e. machine which
is not running MS Exchange Server software) in an environment
where email services are handled through Exchange
Server
2007
/2010
:
1. Install GFI FAXmaker on the target machine.
2. On your Exchange Server 2007
/2010
manually setup the ‘Send’
and ‘Receive’ connectors which will relay fax queries to GFI
FAXmaker. For more information on how to achieve this refer to ‘The
Exchange 2007
/2010
connectors’ chapter.
Installing
GFI FAXmaker
on a
dedicated
machine
retains
Microsoft
Exchange Server standard
setup
-
no changes to active directory are
made and no custom software will be running on Exchange server.
How it works
at
the client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax
Message form or
the New Message form of Microsoft Outlook are sent via Microsoft
Outlook using the MAPI format
[FAX:<number>]
. The standard SMTP
connector (which is created by
GFI FAXmaker
during set
-
up and is a
completely standard Exchange connector) forw
ards the faxes via
SMTP to the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server.
How
GFI FAXmaker

should be installed on a dedicated machine in
installations where
Microsoft Exchange
Server

is being used.
This

machine must be running Windows 2000 or higher and
the
4GFI FAXmaker

GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
IIS SMTP service.
Y
ou must
also
create a routing rule to forward all
mail sent to the domains
fax
maker
.com
and
smsmaker.com
to the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server.
For information on how
to create this rule
refer to
the ‘
Configuring Exchange Server 5.5 for fax
ing’chapter.
The
GFI FAXmaker
fax server receives the faxes via SMTP
. Through
the use of a
sink
it captures the fax,
converts it to fax format and
faxes it.
Subsequently, i
t will mail back a delivery report to the user.
The same principle
applies
to SMS m
essages.
NOTE:
If Active Directory
is being used
, you must ensure that the
email
address of each
GFI FAXmaker
user is provided
in Active
Directory. Exchange
Server
5.5
does not do this automatically
. If you
don’t use Active Directory you have to configure
the name and email
address of the
GFI FAXmaker
users.
How it works
at
the client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form
are sent via Microsoft Outlook using the SMTP format
number@faxmaker.com.
I
f the user wants to send a fax u
sing the
New Message form of Microsoft Outlook, the user has to address the
email to
number@faxmaker.com
. Exchange 5.5
is then configured to
forward mails sent to the
fax
maker
.com domain to the
GFI FAXmaker
fax server via SMTP.
How
GF
I FAXmaker
works with Lotus Notes/Domino
If you have Lotus Notes or Domino you can choose to install
GFI
FAXmaker
on the mail server machine itself or on a
dedicated
machine.
Figure
4-GFI FAXmaker
installed on the Lotus Notes machine
In
either case
GFI FAXmaker
retrieves
faxes via a dedicated POP3
mailbox. You will need to create a dedicated mailbox and configure
GFI FAXmake
r
to retrieve the faxes from that mailbox.
For more
information refer to
Configuring
GFI FAXmaker
for Lotus Notes
chapter.

Figure
5-GFI F
AXmaker
installed on a separate machine
If Active Directory
is in use
, you must ensure that the
email
address of
each
GFI FAXmaker
user
is supplied
in Active Directory. If you don’t
use Active Directory you have to configure the name and email
address of
the
GFI FAXmaker
users.
How it works
on
the client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form
are sent via the
email
client to the dedicated fax mailbox. If the user
wants to send a fax using the new message form of the Lotus Notes
client, the user has to address the email to number@FAX. Lotus
Notes will forward the mail to a POP3 mailbox. This “fax mailbox”
must be dedicated to the fax server.
GFI FAXmaker
will download the
email, convert it to fax format and fax it. Then it will m
ail back a
d
elivery report to the user. The same principle is applied to SMS
messages.
How
GFI FAXmaker
works with an SMTP/POP3 server
If you have an SMTP/POP3 server such as VPOP3 or Mdaemon you
have to choose
if
you want
GFI FAXm
aker
to collect faxes to be faxed
via POP3
orifyou want to configure your mail server to forward the
faxes via SMTP to the
GFI FAXmaker
server.
If you choose
to forward the faxes via SMTP
then
GFI FAXmaker
must be installed on a separate machine (see fig
ure 3).
If you use an
SMTP/POP3 server
you
can
install
GFI FAXmaker
on the mail server
machine it self (See figure 4)
. This
however does not allow users to
send faxes directly from their
email
client.
If Active Directory
is in use
,
ensure
that the
email
a
ddress of each
GFI
FAXmaker
user
is provided
in Active Directory. If you don’t use Active
Directory you have to configure the name and email address of the
GFI FAXmaker
users.
How it works
on
the client
side
If
GFI FAXmaker
is configured
to retrieve faxes
via POP3, all faxes
sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form are sent via
the
email
client to the dedicated fax mailbox.
GFI FAXmaker
will
download the email, convert it to fax format and fax it. Then it will mail
6GFI FAXmaker
-
an overview
GFI FAXmaker 14.3 for Exchange/Lotus/SMTP
back a delivery report to the
user. The same principle is applied to
SMS messages.
If you have configured your mail server to forward all faxes via SMTP
to the separately installed
GFI FAXmaker
fax server, then all faxes
sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax Message form will be sent
via the
email
client using the SMTP format
number@faxmaker.com
. If
the user wants to send a fax
from their email client, then
address the
email to
number@faxmaker.com
. The SMTP/POP3 mail server is
then configured to forward mails sent to the
faxmaker
.com
domain to
the
GFI FAXmaker
fax server via SMTP. The
GFI FAXmaker
fax
server receives the faxes via SMTP an
d using a sink captures the fax,
converts it to fax format and faxes it out. Then it will mail back a
delivery report to the user. The same principle
is applied to SMS
messages.
How
GFI FAXmaker
works with multiple mail servers
Figure
6-GFI FAXmaker
wi
th multiple mail servers
If you have a large network with multiple mail servers
that are
independent
from each other
, you can configure your mail servers to
forward faxes from all mail servers via SMTP (using the same
methods as described above for each ty
pe of mail server). This
enables
you to provide fax services to users on several mail servers
with a single
GFI FAXmaker
server.

If you have a small network and don’t run your own mail server or
have a hosted mail server setup, you can still deploy
GFI FAXmaker
.
You
however
need to install the IIS SMTP service on the
GFI
FAXmaker
server. The
GFI FAXmaker
client software will forward all
faxes directly to the
GFI FAXmaker
Fax server via SMTP.
The
GFI FAXmaker
fax server receives the faxes via SMTP
. Through
the u
ser of a
sink,the
fax
is captured, converted
it to fax format and
faxes out. The same principle is applied to SMS messages. Delivery
reports and inbound faxes will be forwarded to the user’s email
address at the ISP mail server. Because of the small size
of faxes
files and relatively small amount of email traffic created by
GFI
FAXmaker,
this will not pose a significant overhead on your internet
link.
How it works
on the
client
side
All faxes sent by users from the
GFI FAXmaker
client will be sent to
the S
MTP format
number
@faxmaker.com
. The
GFI FAXmaker
client
will know the name of the fax server machine and submit the fax
directly to the
GFI FAXmaker
server. The user
cannot
send a fax from
his
email
client.

GFI FAXmaker
program group.
3.
Open
an
email
client, create a new message, enter the text to
send, add attachments if needed and address the fax to
number@faxmaker.com
, or if the user is on Exchange Server, select
the recipient from the Microsoft Outlook Contacts.
4.
From any Micros
oft Office application, Use the Send To command,
which can be found in the file menu. This will attach the document
created to a new mail message after which the fax can be sent as per
option 3.

and
users
After you have installed and configured the fax devices you have to
specify the fax users
.
NOTE:
This can be changed
but you
at this point you
must specify at
least one fax user.
GFI FAXmaker
is licensed based on the number of users
that receive
or
send faxes. The procedure is different depending on whether you
have Active Directory or not:
If you have Active Directory
If you use Active Directory on your network (i.e. you have one or more
Windows Server 2000 machines or higher),
GFI
FAXmaker
will
connect to Active Directory and allow you to specify
GFI FAXmaker
users
and user based rules
. This is done by
select
ing users from
Active Directory
.
GFI FAXmaker relies
on the email address specified for each user in
active directory. If you
use Microsoft Exchange 2000
/2003
/2007
/2010
,
or any Active Directory integrated mai
l server (including Windows
2003
POP services)
this email address is automatically filled in
correctly.
NOTE:
If you use Exchange 5.5 or a non active directory integrated
mail server,
you are required
to
provide
a correct email address for
each user that you want to ‘fax
-
enable’ in the Email field of
the user
properties. This can be done from Active Directory Users and
Computers.
