2.9.2.5 Generic SMTP Routing
Users must be able to send email to the fax server using the format
[email protected] , where 5550123 is the fax number, and
fax.company.com is the fax server’s unique domain. The following notes provide
an outline of the required configuration, but the specific steps on how to
implement this will depend on the DNS and email software being used.
It is strongly recommended that mail for the SMTP Gateway's E-mail domain be
routed first through the mail server, rather than directly from the client to the
SMTP Gateway. This funneling of mail takes advantage of any advanced mail
processing features the mail server may have, as well as introducing the fault
tolerance offered by the mail server's store-and-forward function. Many mail
servers will need to be configured to allow relaying for the fax domain.
It is usually sufficient to configure DNS with the following records, assuming the
fax server’s IP is
192.168.10.10 , and the mail server is mail.company.com . If fax
senders will be out on the Internet, then the IP address must be a public IP.
fax.company.com 3600 IN A 192.168.10.10
fax.company.com 3600 IN MX 10 mail.company.com
