PBX Manager Configuration

In the PBX Manager plugin for the fax app, you need to configure the SMTP server configuration.

Domain: enter the domain for the Mail2Fax service
User name: select a username, which the Exchange uses for authentication
Password select a password, which the Exchange uses for authentication

Example:

Exchange Configuration

The fax server domain, e.g. fax.yourcompany.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 IP address or 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.
