MAIL RECEPTION 9 March 2004
4-6
4.3.3 SMTP
Overview
When you register the IFAX as an SMTP server in the MX record of the DNS
server, e-mailed data is automatically transferred to the IFAX facsimile. The IFAX
facsimile does not need to fetch the data. In addition, the SMTP can forward e-
mails to specified recipient–this function is known as "delivery".
To use the SMTP, satisfy both of the following conditions:
• The IFAX facsimile is registered with its mail address as an SMTP server in the
MX record of the DNS server.
• "SMTP" is selected as the reception protocol:
! > System Settings > File Transfer> Reception Protocol
The SMTP gateway handles incoming e-mails, for example, in either of the
following environments:
• Only a UNIX server is on the network.
•
Lotus Notes is handling e-mails.
Off Ramp Gateway
The Off Ram Gateway is the feature to forward the E-mail received by the SMTP.
E-mail is delivered to a G3 facsimile if it contains the following information:
fax=delivery_number@ifax_host_name.domain. For example, actual information
should be something like: fax=0454778907@cl01.dom1.ricoh.co.jp.
