Exchange Configuration

The fax server domain (which must be the same, as the domain in the PBX Manager plugin), e.g. fax.company.com, must be added and all mails to it have to be forwarded to a new connector. The new connector has got the App Platform DNS name as the target. Currently, supported is STARTTLS for SMTP.
User and password are the configured ones in the fax server configuration in the PBX Manager plugin for the Fax App.

The type FAX must also be forwarded to the connector so that fax documents can be sent directly to an Outlook contact's fax number.

More information about creating SMTP Send Connector on Exchange 2019 could be found here.

DNS Configuration

There must be a public entry of the fax server domain to the Exchange server, too. Otherwise, mail providers reject the fax server mails.
