File Name Whitelist & Blacklist

The email gateway can be configured to silently strip email attachments so that
they are not converted and faxed. This can be because either the attachment is
not faxable (a digital signature or vcard for example), or because only certain
file types are allowed. The

blacklist

defines a list of file names that will

never

be sent. The

whitelist

defines a list of file names that will

only

be sent.

The value of each of these is a comma separated list of extensions. Wildcards

*

and

?

are accepted. Asterisk (

*

) matches any sequence of zero or more charac-

ters. Question mark (

?

) matches any single character. For example, “

*.ht*

” will

match

.htm

and

.html

files, while “

*.x?l

” will match

.xml

and

.xsl

files but

not

.xslt

files.

Examples:

*.p7?,*.jp*g,*.gif

or

*.tif,*.tiff,*.pdf,*.doc,*.rtf

problem.

Mail Client

Verify the email was sent to the correct email address. Compare the address
configured in

with the address on the sent mail. Also

verify the email is not still in the client’s Outbox.

2.9.9.1.2

Mailbox

Log into the fax POP3 mailbox using a webmail interface or a POP3 mail client
configured to leave the messages on the mail server. If the mail is in the mail-
box, then the POP3 Gateway is unable to log in to the POP3 server. Verify the
POP3 server, the POP3 password, and the POP3 account name (this can ei-
