After the above configuration has been made, all mail addressed to
<[email protected]> will be forwarded to the Internet Fax.

Mail server

In many cases, the DNS server configuration explained above is all that is
required to use the e-mail to fax relay service. However, some mail serv-
ers are configured to process all mail addressed to hosts belonging to their
domain as mail to themselves. If mail server mail.abc.com has been set up
in this way, it will regard mail to [email protected] as mail to one of its
users and will not forward it to the Internet Fax. To prevent this, it is nec-
essary to configure the mail server so that it will not process mail
addressed host fax.abc.com. Please refer to the network administrator for
the procedure on how to configure the mail server.
